Correct, it would be, and if the headers were correct you wouldn't have to :-)
But I have used procmail and formail, and now everything works correctly.


reply - goes to the sender only
reply all - goes to the sender and the list
reply to list - goes to the list only

Hooray for open source code

Unfortunatly address munging, as it is known, is bad. But people seem to like it.
Most like it because the mail clients in use don't support the 'reply to list' function.
Or so it seems from reading stuff on the net
