This happens because we don't perform explicit Reply-To header munging, so
people whose MUAs set Reply-To to themselves get the replies by default.
Otherwise, replies go to the list. Mailman listserv software allows us to
brute force the Reply-To headers to point to the list. I've just set this
option, so from now on all replies will go to the list no matter what the
poster being replied to wanted.

Thanks. I appreciate this. I can still reply to the originating author by using Reply-All and either leaving the Scribus address in the To: field or removing it if I want to send something off the list. I hope you don't get too many complaints about the change!

Murray
