I see that someone has instructed Mailman to munge the reply-to. Please don't do that. I was about to make a *private* reply to someone, and realized that the setting had changed, and that I was trapped into replying to the list.
Normally I'd have just made this point privately, and perhaps only on Futures, but since it seems to be a recent change, I'm doing the public service of pointing it out, while asking that it be adjusted back.

I don't see that; I have to specifically choose to reply to the list.
Maybe someone, like me, sets their own reply-to to the list.

From the headers.

Mutt asks me, but other mailers might not.
Cheers,

Yes, he said he set reply-to himself. Look at your own post, it has no such header.
I think you missed John's last sentence, Phil...
For instance, on *this* email, and *your* email, a reply goes to the
individual. I have to specifically put the list address in.
Perhaps Lynda hit someone's manually-set Reply-to header and thought
it was set by Mailman...
Best,

*sigh* back to the coffee machine.
P.
It's you, Lynda. Really. 
Your message, frex, did not have reply-to munged; I had to do it by hand
(since Zimbra 6 is still too stupid; I've had that bug open for over 2 years
now; maybe 7 fixes it). One reply to you did, but the rest did not.

Well, *now* I know it's not mailman, but it's not me, either. Not exactly. What I noticed was that *some* of the email to Nanog, today, had this set, but not all. I was very confused (it's not the first time I've been confused, of course).

Yeah, Mr Peach set an evil trap for me. I'd been about to send him a private email (on something of absolutely no importance), and when I realized it went back to Nanog, was puzzled enough to check to see whether it had been changed. Cleverly, I tested replies to a couple of other emails, and as luck would have it, one was my own (and tbird has a stupid habit of knowing that if it's a mailing list, I surely meant to send it to the list), and the other two were both to Mr Peach.
Sorry for noise.
Back to making sure Geoff H believes us, and keeps right on sending the reports.
