I think I said this before, but the way to fix that is for (the
vanagon list maintainer) to have the "Reply-To:
vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com" header added to all out-going mail.

Anyone "Reply"-ing to an email will get the list in their "To:"
header, and I think "Reply-All" will still work as expected.
