I have just checked the full headers, using both the MTA formerly known as PINE, and, gmail (I have my gmail account, subscribed, and, my normal email address, subscribed, and, I use alpine for incoming email, for the latter, due to the power of PINE), and both show no presence of a Reply-To value having been set. In both instances, in composing a reply to your message, the replies default to replying to you only; a user needs to use the Reply To All option, and then (if the user is inclined, and, I generally do it, to minimise wastage of bandwidth and duplication of messages for recipients) deleting the email address of the poster of the message to which the reply is being composed (and deleting any other circulated email addresses shown in the message header), and, cutting (from the CC field), and pasting, the list address, to the To address for the message. Where a list (and, I am assuming that the mailing list software for this list allows it - from the full header, the mailing list software used for this list, is Claws mail) is configured to by default, Reply-To the mailing list, it generally is shown in the full header of a message that is distributed by the mailing list, or, so I believe. Also, when a list does not default replies to the list, causing subscribers to use the Reply To All option when replying to list messages, it can be shown in the messages where repliers do not delete from the To and CC email addresses of a message being composed, the email addresses other than the list address, of previous posters in a thread, leading to strings of addressees in the To and CC address fields, with the list address being shown to be in the CC field, in the headers. Or, that is my experience. -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
