I often see people on this list say "use reply to all" so that the information
is included on the list, that should not be needed (it is dumb as I see it).
"Reply-To-All" is an abomination from my perspective and should never have been
added to as an option for email clients. Both side of the argument (for
munging the replt-to) state that the problem is the email client but give
different reasons. Well I must agree with them but their (both sides) reasons
is because most email clients have the wrong options for replying.

Since I dislike receiving multiple copies of list messages I set the "Reply-To"
to the list for those lists that I belong to that don't do it for me. Your
have been WARNED if you think you will reply to me only.
