I never said that changing the list configuration would stop:

a) accidental CC's to both the list and original sender
b) broken mail clients
c) instances of finger convulsions; i.e., the sort that would cause the
   wrong address to get pasted into the To: field.  This sort of
   behavior is often exhibited by people who autox too much and have
   the initials: "SCM"...

It has, however, cut down a great deal on the number of posts meant for
personal email that end up getting sent to the list because the sender
didn't notice the Reply-To: header in time.  Anyone having trouble 
getting replies to go to the list, please consult your email docs on
how to "Reply to All Recipients" (Pegasus is good at this, in Eudora
you simply have to hold the shift key while choosing reply, and most
UNIX mailers should have no problem with this) or use one of the most
amazing developments in the history of the GUI... cut and paste!

...but be wary...pasting can be hazardous without proper training...
