Hmm. I've looked at the RFC; to quote 4.4 "Reply-To/Resent-Reply-To":
... A
somewhat different use may be of some help to "text message
teleconferencing" groups equipped with automatic distribution
services: include the address of that service in the "Reply-
To" field of all messages submitted to the teleconference;
then participants can "reply" to conference submissions to
guarantee the correct distribution of any submission of their
own.
To my mind, that says that mail-lists ought to have the 'Reply-To' set
to the list itself. Presumably, it would be preferable to /only/ do this
if the author's not set it (or change theirs to 'Resent-').
I don't know - this has gone a little too far OT to warrant continuing
much further. Personally [if it works], I'll try to remember to add
'Reply-To: fvwm' to my postings in the future.
