There is a distinction between a reply (goes to the sender) and a followup (goes to the list). Gnus for example supports both concepts (don't know about other user agents). Now if somebody wants to send a (private) reply to the sender and the sender had set Reply-To to the list the mail goes to the list instead. This might be not a good thing. Another aspect is that there is no convenient way to send a private reply to the sender when he had set Reply-To to the list. You then can only do this by manually copy/paste of the From address. The worst is when the list manager software automaticalle sets Reply-To to the list address. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
