The list is set not to modify the email headers (especially not the reply-to
headers), so if you set the list as "cc", it will be "cc" in the reply (if
you remember to press the proper button). There are pros and cons of doing
it either way, the reasons have been discussed on this list a couple of
times. There might even be an faq entry, but the subversion.tigris.org site
seems to have some sort of a server problem right now.

best."
