If the desired behaviour for the list is for people to reply to the list as
a whole rather than the individual author perhaps the settings for the list
need reviewing and correcting. For example, Jeremy's reply to the list
includes

From: Jeremy Harris via Exim-users <exim-users@???>
Reply-To: Jeremy Harris <jgh@???>


then, on hitting *Reply*, most people's email clients will construct a
private reply to Jeremy's address alone. The alternative is to use *Reply
to all* which then includes the exim-users address but also retains the
Reply-to address, thereby incurring the Wrath of Jeremy.

Given that most email clients only offer *Reply* or *Reply to all* then if
we do want people to reply to the list perhaps the Reply-to header should
be set to the list's address?

Just a thought…
