</div>There are standards and often conflicting standards. We have already<br>>
made a delibirate choiche of which standards we believe in.<br>>
<br>>
There are different people expecting different things.<br>>
Newcomers to a list should not expect that all oldtimers<br>>
expect the same as themselves.<br>>
<br>>
If this list behaviour feels differently than other list it<br>>
depends which lists you regard as the other. Many lists<br>>
today are really Google groups, and they seem to have chosen<br>>
to violate Internet standards since they are more like a<br>>
forum, and in forums private messages do not exist.<br>>
<br>>
The default setting for both Majordomo and Mailman is to<br>>
not munge Reply-To, and their documentation discourages<br>>
changing this. All mailing lists at e.g <a href="http://openbsd.org" target="_blank">openbsd.org</a><br>>
do not munge Reply-To.<br>>
