Brad,

The list sets a default reply-to back to the list, but seems to accept
his reply-to, and overrides its own on messages sent to the list.
This is a list policy decision, and thus my question is whether this
is deliberate.  I've been around long enough to know the difference
between reply-to, mail-followup-to, and the religion that surrounds
reply to.  I've administered enough smtp servers that I do understand
how sub-addresses work, and I'm not sure why you think I need to know
that?

Again, my question is whether it's intentional list policy for the
reply-to of an individual on the list to override the default
reply-to.  If it is, then I'll be on my guard, but often this sort of
thing is a result of a knob in the list manager not being tweaked to
disallow this.
