Either way, that doesn't seem right to me. Normally, lists which set Reply-To will only add it if it is not present and leave it alone if the user has already inserted their own Reply-To header. Aside from being (in my experience) unusual, appending to an existing Reply-To strikes me as wrong in that it leaves users with no way to specify that replies should go solely to them, which disables use cases such as the classic "please send all possible solutions privately and I'll post a summary to the list" or the much more common "I'm conducting a poll on X; vote by emailing me directly and I'll post the results in one week". -- Dave Sherohman
