I'd have to set the broken-reply-to flag for Gnus--otherwise pressing
(r)eply would do the wrong thing.

Still enough mails, more than enough mails! will find their way onto the
list ;)  I like it to receive messages twice if somebody answers my
mailinglist contributions--one message will go into the ML folder and
the other one into my default folder.

If you don't like it, just set reply-to to opensuse@opensuse.org for
this list.  That's possible, but if the ML pretends to own the reply-to
field, participants cannot make use of this field.

Not setting reply-to is just a good thing to secure your personal data;
setting reply-to is just too dangerous for users new to MLs.  Join a ML
such as Internet in Bibliotheken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and you
will quickly see what the problem with setting reply-to.
