I thought what it would do is cause the list bot to attach a
"Reply-To: list-address" header to each message it forwards to you
(quite different from attaching same to your own outgoing messages).
Since I don't particularly want that behavior, I've never experimented
with it; so I might be wrong. What do you see in incoming pgsql-novice
mail now that you've set the flag?
