Given the starred portion below, should I assume that people who
are explicitly setting the reply-to field (particularly when they set it to the content of the from field, rather than something else) actually want to get direct mail? I turned on the reply-to option, since most of the time I want to do reply to the list, and Pine does not offer a good method of only replying to the list. But, the message I just sent a minute ago, I still had the same problem, because phil set the reply-to header explicitly.

- Set Reply-To: This will add a Reply-To: header field to the messages
you receive from the list, directing replies back to the list instead of the message originator.
Messages with a Reply-To: header field already present will not have it replaced.
