The list stomped your Reply-To:.

This brings up another issue that needs a solution before we can get to
mucking w/ the reply-to.

What MUA ( mail clients ) understand reply-to-author vs. reply-to-list vs.
reply-to-all? mutt has different forms of reply commands. I don't know if
other MUAs do as well. My experiences with mutt have not encouraged me to
continue using it :(.

We have the list configged to set its own Reply-To: because we want to
encourage discussion. If most MUAs made it easy for people to choose to
reply to the list we could dispense with that. Last I surveyed ( several
years ago ) most MUAs did not do that.
