Ok, I'd like to try an experiment:

According to the ietf-822 list, "Set a Reply-To with your mail and 
the list mail" is still the answer to my problem. I'm very curious as 
to how this works in practice. Therefore I would appreciate it if 
people would reply to this email with as wide a variety of MUAs as 
possible. If you want to

1. reply as if you want to reply to just me (and send it)

2. reply as if you were going to reply to the list:

     - use your MUA's "Reply to All" functionality to begin composing a
       reply
     - look at which addresses it picks
     - IF the addresses are *NOT* ilug at linux.ie and
       paul at hibernia.jakma.org then please email me and tell me
       (I'd like to know the details of your MUA and which addresses it
        picked)

3. If your MUA has a "List Reply" function, then:

     - use it to start composing a reply
     - look at which addresses it picks
     - strip the list address from the reply and send it

Thanks!

Depending on how interesting the results are, i'll try take this up 
on the 822 IETF list, ie if the results show a huge variation in 
interpretation of 822 / if they show setting Reply-To in this 
manner can not reliably achieve "please include me in replies".
