This isn't really your fault. It's the fault of a few Vorts who insist on filling in the "reply to" field in their email clients. When they post to the list, eskimo leaves the reply to field alone, and when you reply to them, the "reply to" field takes precedence over the "from" field, so your reply goes to them directly instead of to the list. *Everyone* should leave the "reply to" field empty. It isn't needed for normal emails as the "from" field is automatically used for the reply address if "reply to" is empty. When a list server such as eskimo receives an email with an empty "reply to" field, it places it's own address in the "reply to" (overwriting the blank that is already there), so that when you reply to the email from the list, it goes back to the list automatically.
