	This problem comes up every few weeks. The admins refuse to 
acknowledge that the correct behavior for replying to a message on the 
list is to reply back to the list. Instead, they cling to some purist 
position about "munging" Reply-to: headers, even though that results in 
a default behavior that is incorrect: clicking "Reply" in most email 
clients only replies to the sender (off-list), while "Reply All" 
replies to the sender, to the list, and to anyone else CC'd on the 
post. Neither behavior is correct.
	I've debated this in the past here, and the admins seem pretty 
resistant to making things work to the benefit of the subscribers. They 
prefer to remain true to some purist position even at the cost of 
making the list inefficient and unwieldy.
