When I just clicked on "reply to" to a posting of Steve's the address entered
in teh correct field in teh reply was teh lists. Some people set "reply to"
in their own headings with their own addrees which seems ot override the
mailing list's setting.
But I have my mailing list folders set to reply to list, which probably makes
a difference. KMail 1.9.10 on Trinity 3.5.13.2.

I don't. Ever. Normally it goes to the list if I just click on reply. I do
make mistakes and forget to do so, but I can just press "L" instead of
clicking "reply" and it always goes to the list.
