Not at all.  If we were using my Mac together, I'd consider your input
into how it's configured.


Yes yes, the reply-to debate.  Let's skip it.  The presence of the
Mail-Followup-To header field fooled me into thinking the list owners
wanted replies to go to the list.  Now I get it.  Ha ha.

The list does not add a Mail-Followup-To header. It is the sender who choses to add one if he doesn't want private copies. some people even set the Reply-To because some MUAs do not check the Mail-Followup-To header. but that still doesn't solve the problem as I've seen mailers reply to the From header and unfortunately, this one cannot be changed since it is the one that most mailing list software checks.


Anyway, many people (including $self) think that it is the (original) sender who decides where replies go. so the problem is on the MUA side and list software should not try to "fix" problems that ought to be solved on the client side. but let's not get into this debate here. While I prefer "no munging", I don't think this is a critical issue and I'm happy on lists with both styles.
