Personally I am of the view that, as I am on this list principally to
get support from it, and I am quite prepared to submit to the vagaries
and oddities of the list behaviour in pursuit of the answers I might
seek.

As such, I am quite prepared to 1) Fix it my end, 2) Quit whining
about it and 3) Find something else to whine about.

However, the point is made by Bill that 'only one person' might feel
that the reply-to configuration could be improved, and I feel
compelled to say that, while I might not be driven to complain about
the list behaviour myself, I do feel that the OP does have a point.

And that's all that I'm going to say on the matter.
