This seems to be a widespread problem in dealing with email lists. I think the
e-mail programs themselves need to handle this better. When a message has both
the From: and Reply-To: headers and they are not identical, as is the case with
most e-mail discussion lists, the e-mail program should warn you of the
ambiguity, and explicity ask you to which address you want to reply.
