because the Reply-to on the list is set to sender. On moderated
lists, this can be a good idea because the approval cycle causes
a lag between posting and mail reflection.
Is the Reply-to merely a hint that we should consider taking topics
offline, or is there some reason I should be leaving redundant addresses
in the headers?
I wish there were a standard way to indicate in your own mail headers "I do/don't wish to receive a direct copy of replies to this message." This can be done on usenet pretty effectively, but not really in email lists.
