This is semi-off-topic, but it somewhat relates to Mutt and Mailman.  I'm on
another mailing list that was recently switched from Majordomo to Mailman.
Many times when users try to reply privately to a poster they end up posting
to the list.  This causes many complaints about Mailman being a poor piece
of software.

I (and others on the list using Mutt) have never noticed this "bug" that the
(l)users speak of, since Mutt handles mailing lists VERY well.  The
complaints come from those using LookOut!, AOL, and other Windoze MUAs.  The
list administrator says that this is just Mailman's standard behavior and it
can't be changed.  I'm almost 100% sure that this can be easily changed.

So is this a case of users not knowing how to properly configure/use their
MTAs, or is it a case of the list administrator not knowing how to properly
setup the list?  I posted this here since this list runs Mailman and I've
heard no comments here about this.  There also seems to be a good number of
knowledgeable people here.

Apologies for the semi-OT post.
