OT: Why, when responding to your mailings in this group is the "reply to"
wrong. The reply address is to you directly, not the list. Anyone else have
the same problem?  I suspect it is the order of reply to addresses, your
personal address is first. My client ignores multiple addresses (for
security reasons).

I am not an expert on the relevent RFCs but my Outlook email settings
include a 'Reply to' email address field that is set to my personal address.
I suspect that this 'reply to' address is being retained in the email
messages that I send to the list when they are passed to you and your client
is picking up on it in preference to the address that the email is from.

This is preferred behaviour - I have other accounts where I want replies to
go to my private email address and not to the address I am sending from.

Since I have not always seen this 'reply to' address fields in other email
clients I suspect that Microsoft is sticking to the letter of the RFC and
other email clients are being caught out. But maybe I'm wrong... <grin>
