Sorry Amy, you're wrong. The messages sent 'by the list' do not include a 'reply-to' address back to the list. All list messages are all sent as reply to the poster. You can check mail headers all you want, the only return reference to the list is the intial from line which correctly lists [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the 'to' address, which any correct mail client would ignore in a reply.
The only way to reply to the list is by using a 'reply to all' option which is the first sign of a broken mailing list. The fact that my initial post for help ended with nothing more then the tail end of a conversation carried on outside of the list is proof of this. Or are you going to tell me that you got all 'those' messages from the list? Of course, if you feel that the list is only here to spark private conversations outside of the list, then this list is a waste of the public's time and serves no one.
