[SI-LIST] OOP problem, changing Reply-To header

Sorry to start a new thread about that crazy out of office messages. I think
there is a easy way to solve that. Each posting is sent to the list members
with a "From:" and "Reply To:" address of the original poster included. And
the OOP messages are sent directly to that "reply to"-address. Why not
changing the "Reply-To" header?

This is how I get a message posted by me from the list:
From: Matthias Weingart <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Reply-To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
To: "Si-List (E-mail)" <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

But it should be:
From: Matthias Weingart <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Reply-To: "Si-List (E-mail)" <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
To: "Si-List (E-mail)" <si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

It is also more common to let the people post back to the list, rather than
replying to the original poster only.
