I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you.
Yet I have found a way to reply to the list automatically
I'm using a folder named "Mandrake" for the mails coming from this list and 
the following filter rule:
subject contains [expert]
set Reply-To [EMAIL PROTECTED]
transfer Mandrake

I just applied the rules to all the messages in this directory and it worked 
fine. Yet I had to put the actions exactely in that order. Transfer first 
then set Reply-To didn't work!

Maybe I should add something to have the original author's address in Cc...

Thanks to all for your help.

This started happening after mandrake's servers overloaded from supposedly 
all the email going thru.  You remember when people were getting kicked off 
the list left and right and had to go resubscribe?  Then the forum's servers 
went down and was off line for about a week?  A couple of months before that 
I remember when someone moderating the 'crashtesters' list came back with a 
update on things and said something to the effect of 'now when you hit reply, 
it automatically shows the name of mailing list instead of the original 
posters addy' (implying it was in the coding and something they fixed).  So 
put 2 & 2 together, and come to the conclusion that mandrake did this to cut 
down on all the email going thru their server.  I can understand in a way, 
yet when we buy the boxed sets we are supposed to get support.  And this list 
is it.  And now they are slowly pulling that.  Just about every question I've 
asked or replied to gets answered to in my regular email.  Which is fine for 
me, but think about all the fixes, workarounds, and discussions that are not 
being shared with everyone.
  
Just a paranoid's thoughts.

ps:  if you right click on a folders name in the left pane of kmail, you can 
chose to modify it.  And it there is a setting for 'mailing-list?' and 
'mailing list addy'.  This feature is being overridden on my mandrake lists, 
yet function as intended for others.  More food for thought..

Actually, I'm going to guess that the person you replied to sent the email
directly to you and not through the list, as I don't remember seeing his
(his? her?) reply, so that's probably what happened.  Try reply all
to this one...

On a slightly related note, I notice again that those bogus extra reply-to
addresses are (still?) gone.  Hooray.  ;-)
