Well?  You've quoted the question, but haven't made any attempt to
answer it.


i think a bigger problem is that mail from lists.debian.org does not use
the standard convention of setting the "reply-to:" header to the list's
post address. In most email software this results in 2 methods of
replying to a message: 1) "reply", which goes only to the person who wrote the original post
2) "reply to all", which sends a message to both the list address and to
the original poster.

This is the behaviour of mozilla. It should have a button that does
reply-to-list without doing a reply-to-sender, or everyone will get
double messages. Does any other mailer fix that?

Wrong! wrong! wrong!  This is an old, tired flamewar.  The Debian lists
are done Right.  Do your homework[1] before regurgitating the losing end of
this old debate for us again.
