I use Gmane, and love it. This is one issue it doesn't solve, though. If
the mailing list software destroys the Reply-to header, there's no way
for Gmane to accurately guess what address the author wants private
replies sent to.

I probably want my replies to go to the list in 90% of cases, too, but
that doesn't really help me in the cases where I want to reach the
author only, does it?
