To add to the insanity (at least with sylpheed-claws-gtk2) it seems if
the Reply To: field contains the posters email address then no matter
what you choose (reply, reply to all, reply to mailing list) only the
posters email address is supplied, if you want to send a reply to the
list you have to add the list address and if you don't want the reply
to go to the posters email address you have to remove it. DOH!
