This is a standard argument that occurs on mailing lists.  If the Reply-To is
set, it makes it really difficult to respond to only the sender of the
message, and people complain.  If the Reply-To isn't set, responses may only
goto the sender and not the list, and people complain.

I'm of the opinion that the Reply-To should be left blank and leave it up to
the MUA/user to figure out the "reply to group" bit.  I'd rather have the
"incorrect action" to impact only 1 person receiving mail (ie: the response
only goes to sender) rather than the "incorrect action" impact everyone on
the mailing list.


As for the duplicate messages to sender business, you're probably already
using procmail for spamassassin, so add in the rule (it's in the procmail man
page) that unduplicates your messages based on message-id.  It's worked great
for me for years.
