 |With *this* particular list it is no problem, as before the transition the
 |list retained the original From: header and did not add Reply-To: at \
 |all, so
 |if you used the ordinary "reply" function in your MUA, you were replying
 |directly to the author and not to the list.
 |
 |So we all probably have long ago got used to using "reply to list" \
 |instead of
 |ordinary "reply" when replying to messages on *this* list.
 |
 |With changing From: to point to the list itself and adding Reply-To:
 |pointing to the author this behaviour hasn't changed. I'm still replying to
 |the author when I press R and to the list when I press Shift+L.

Of course what Wietse's email contradicted.
(They add onto a yet existing Reply-To:.  There is
Mail-Followup-To:, but it was never standardized.)
