there is a problem though, as this list sets a Reply-To: header that
points back to the list. so even if you hit 'reply' with the intention
to write to the author, then your mail will be sent to the list if you
don't pay close attention and fix the problem manually.

this case is a very good example why reply-to munging is bad.

greetings, martin.
