and it's worse the other way round - where people are used to not having reply-to set to the list, and then end up sending personal replies to the list that has reply-to munged. so in a way, it's a privacy issue. paul has a valid point though, that when people hit 'reply to all' it may be annoying to get a copy sent to you as well as the list. for me it's not annoying, because that reply will be very interesting to me if it's a reply to one of my posts, but for him it is... but i think the occasional person having to have more complicated mail filters is a worthwhile trade-off, because it means everyone has more choice and some embarrassing/damaging mistakes are avoided. alex
