Yes! This has been driving me nuts for months on a half dozen lists I am
on. I hit reply and enter, followed by cancel because the wrong address is
in the reply-to, hit reply again, 'y' for reply to all recipients, do some
surgery on the 'To' and 'Cc' lines to remove the incorrect 'reply-to' now
in the 'To' line and to move the list address from a 'Cc' to the 'To'.
This is a damn well _broken_ setting for a list to use. It makes what
should be a simple and routine reply to the list into an absurdly complex
exercise.
