This is also getting WAY OT.. but does pertain to email still :)
Note that I didn't say I'm in the reply to. I said my Reply-to doesn't have the list address. Actually, I don't have a Reply-to at all, just like you, which means the desired reply is the From address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
If you really want people to reply on-list your should add a Reply-To header that contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] to your outbound messages. Note this is not "Reply-To munging" since it is done at the mail *client* side (ie by the author) not by the list. The whole original point of the Reply-to header is for the author to specify where they want replies to go, if they want them to go somewhere other than "From".
Reply-to munging on the other hand, is where a list automatically obliterates any reply-to address and replaces it with the list address. This makes it easy for users who don't know how to create a Reply-To address of their own, but takes functionality away from those that know how to create their own Reply-To headers and want to use them. There's heated arguments as to which behavior is better for a list, but the munging argument seems to be based on "many mail clients don't handle this properly, and most users don't understand it, so the listserver should fix it for all email because it knows better than the author of the mail", which seems silly.

That's why I'm not in my Reply-To or Mail-Followup-To: header. Yet, strangely enough, I do get CC'd most of the time.
