I have good reasons for wanting a direct copy of any replies to me on 
list. The mailman 2.1 docs also discourage setting Reply-to. But 
let's not get into that... ;)

I'm not asking the list to change its policy of setting Reply-to -> 
list. I'm asking if it could just be fixed of the currently broken 
behaviour of destroying existing Reply-tos. I gather this would 
require upgrading mailman to a more recent version (mailman 2.0 is 
oldish, 2.1.9 is definitely fixed).

Anyway :)
