This mailing list adds a "Reply-To:" header saying only itself.  Almost
all other mailing lists don't.  Without the header, "reply" in your MUA
will (by default) reply only to the sender of a message, and "reply to
all" will cc: the list (and everyone on cc: in the original message).
With the header, both "reply" and "reply to all" will send (by default)
only to the list.  The really nasty consequence is that if you want to
do a private reply and you are not paying attention it will end up on
the list.  Oops.

The mailman manual calls it "reply-to header munging" and says it is a
religious issue ;-)

"reply_goes_to_list" should be set to "Poster", which the manual says is
strongly recommended.  I suspect it is now set to "This list".

Cheers,
