It's kinda a religious issue, really... I actually set my 'reply-to'
header to the list (when I can, I don't always use the same email client
for this address) so that replies automatically go to the list but not to
me.

There are arguments to be made both ways. Some lists rewrite the headers,
some don't.

We deal.
