I think a correct way to implement this is as follows. When a user subscribes to a debian mailing list, there is a configuration page somewhere on the web where he can go and set his preference whether to munge reply-to address or not. Depending on his preference, from then on everything should work as the *user* expected. I have read both the for/against arguments of reply-to munging. If the choice is given to the user, then it would be the best I think. raju -- http://kamaraju.googlepages.com/cornell-bazaar http://groups.google.com/group/cornell-bazaar/about
