Now that my ISP has the SWEN storm under control, maillist items seem to be arriving again. However I noticed that there is no "reply-to: gpc@gnu.de" field on these recent arrivals, and I had myself configured to have such a field.
What is a Reply-To: good for if the mailinglist would overwrite it?
And why don't you start a new thread with this topic (not to say that I consider this as off topic here and on every other list I'm on)?
I suspect Frank just fixed it, because your reply came with the reply-to field filled in.
I put it in the thread because I did not know if it was something due to your messages alone or was a general problem. I said as much in my message, but you snipped it.
The purpose of setting the reply-to on delivery from the list is so that replies go to the list, and not just to the originator.
