As I pointed out in another post, mailman currently puts both the poster's
e-mail address and the mailing list's e-mail address in the "Reply-To" field
(whereas it it used to just put the mailing list's e-mail address in there),
which means that at least some e-mail clients end up replying to both of
those by default (and if I understand the "Reply-To" field correctly,
they're technically supposed to reply to both by default if they're both in
that field). I don't know why it's putting both in there, but it's been
doing it for a few months now since about the time that Brad said that he
was making changes to the server (maybe an upgrade? I don't remember right
now). So presumably, something he did resulted in a change in how mailman
acts, and if Manu is using gmail, then that would presumably affect him.
