to" to erlang-questions@REDACTED so that when you click reply in your
client it does not reply to the list?

Here in Thunderbird 3 i get two reply buttons:
"reply" really replies to the sender of the message (the individual author).
"reply list" replies to the list.

It makes sense for me that way.

come across :-)

Yes, it is unlike other lists, where i have to manually copy the email
address of the author if i really want to reply to the sender only.
There i get two buttons too. But they do the same, because of the faked
reply-to header. I don't like that behaviour, that breaks the standard
behaviour of email and makes the two buttons with different semantic
meanings act the same.
I feel it tries to trick me in sending private messages to the list.
That is really bad behaviour.


Thanks to the list maintainer, for letting the buttons work as expected.
