I remember seeing a document somewhere on why setting Reply-To to the
address of the list is the wrong thing to do.  It was very thorough and I
recall being convinced by the arguments presented, but I cannot remember
where I saw it.

But the point being raised here was quoting an entire message, plus the sig,
plus the CLUG trailer and then only adding "damn straight!" to the end.
Changing Reply-To won't fix that.

Paul.
