I find it extremely irritating when lists do not set the replyto. Since
I just sent another message to the poster rather than the list I got off
my tail and added the following to my procmail lists.rc on our
mailserver:

:0 fhw
* ^TO_users@subversion.tigris.org
| formail -i "Reply-To: users@subversion.tigris.org"

I believe that alot of linux boxes use procmail as does redhat that I
run so you linux users out there enjoy.

I see that the last to messages I got from the list now have a handy
dandy replyto set.

Hope this helps someone
