<sigh> Another list. The same argument. </sigh>
If you have the option, use a mailer that supports list-reply for your
mailing lists, and your regular Outlook or Thunderbird or Evolution for
the rest of your email. I use mutt, which supports this. (I've tried
to switch away from mutt. I really have. But all of the gui clients
just plain suck. mutt just sucks less. <tm> )
As someone who has administered lots of mailing lists, I won't set it up
any other way. I guess it's a religious thing. My religion says never
set the Reply-To to the list.
