I think this list doesn't mangle the reply-to field, but adds it if it was missing in the original email. This is actually the worst of both worlds: I have both sent private mail to the whole list (the original author didn't have a reply-to header so the list added one) and sent email meant for the whole list to just the original author (who did have a reply-to originally). I normally notice the latter mistake when I look at my "sent" folder and note that the name displayed isn't "squeak@cs.uiuc.edu" as I had expected.
Just to test this: I simply pressed "reply" and can see that the message was automatically addressed to the list, not to Randal. Now I will add a reply-to field before sending this... done. Now anyone just pressing reply show send an email just to me instead of the list.
