The problem is actually the reverse of this: the list adds a

forsworn by RFC 2822, which says 'When the "Reply-To:" field is

message suggests that replies be sent" (my emphasis).

Please clarify.  It was my understanding that I send messages to the
"List", then the "List" sends the message to those people who are
subscribed to receive list messages.  If this is the case then the
"sender" from whom I receive the e-mail is the "List" and therefor the
reply-to SHOULD be the "List", no?


See above.

Configure your email app to flag moderated messages.  When replying to
those messages, cc to the OP and set the "reply to:" to the list.


That was not the question.

Brian stated that RFC 2822 prohibits the actions of this list. If the message is sent to me by the "List", the "author" of the message "I" recieve IS the "List", therefor, isn't the list behaving correctly, according to RFC 2822?

BTW, I have Thunderbird configured to flag un-moderated messages. Same thing from a different direction.
