we are using mailman for the list. here is a quote from the mailman faq. "The
Mailman developers strongly agree with Chip and Marc, and strongly disagree

Simon" - chip and marc argue that munging reply-to headers is bad while simon
argues that munging reply-to headers is good. the same faq also states that
"Fundamentally, this problem really should be solved in the MUA" - so, the
developers of mailman (at least the one writing the faq) dont believe mailman
is
a MUA.
Besides, all good email clients honor the `List-Post' header, which is
there to specify where the replies to list should go to (if the user
desires so). Finally the user has three choices `Reply', `Reply All',
`Reply to List'. With Reply-To header munging the user has only two
options `Reply all' and `Reply to List'.
Though i believe the list members should decide what they are most
convenient with. Reply All is potentially dangerous option and i am
not in habit of using it.
