I find that hard to believe, but this all depends upon what types of
lists you belong to. In my experience, lists with technical users
generally shy away from Reply-To munging. I get PISSED off when I
have to kill and email draft because the To: field didn't get
populated with the original sender of the email. If I reply, I want
to reply to the sender. If I Reply All, I want to reply to the list.
It seems very logical. Reply All == List. Reply == Invidual. Why
screw with logic?

Fair enough. I went back and checked my lists again, and I think my
percentages are skewed because of the number of RedHat mailing lists I
subscribe to. RedHat's config munges Reply-To on all lists, even the
technically-oriented ones. Some of the others I only read, but when I
checked they were configured as TCLUG's list is.<br>

90% of them are configured as TCLUG is. And for the ones that aren't,
I un-munge them with procmail. Basically, if the To: and Reply-To:
are the same, kill the Reply-To.

Before I return to lurking -- anybody have any idea if Thunderbird is
going to get a Reply To List feature ever?<br>
