The mailing list server will not overwrite an existing Reply-to: header
(unlike some other mailing list server, such as Majordomo)
If enough people complain about it I can change that, though if I had it
my way the list server wouldn't touch Reply-to: at all.
See http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html for some of the reasons
why I think that's a bad idea.
