This list does not have "reply to munging" enabled, meaning the Reply-To |
10 |
will not be set to the list address for you. |

On some reasons why that often is a good idea, read the |
13 |
article "Reply-To Munging Considered Harmful" [1]. |

Please use the "Reply to all" or "Reply to list" features of your |
16 |
mailer, they all have either of those if not both. Please do not use |
17 |
forwarding. |

Also, you could write some procmail rule (if applicable) to reset the |
20 |
Reply-To for your incoming mail, see [2] for details. |
