Or you go the kmail route. Each of my mailing lists go to a folder. The
folder has an option 'this folder contains a mailing list' and I set the
mailing lists address. Then i hit list-reply and it uses that address and
only that address when it sends the mail. Simple, elegant and 100% avoids
the wars over headers.
If the sylpheed author won't accept that option either then people should stop
supporting a project which does not support them.
