I think that this is a bad suggestion since there are some people (such as me) who use the Reply-To headers to ensure that the recipients have a valid reply address to reply to us. If the mailing list rewrites the Reply-To by putting itself in that header, then the valid reply address is lost. Furthermore, I think that the original problem of getting two copies of the same mail can be solved easily by using procmail. Regards, Kenneth
