Well, really I don't much care - I certainly don't consider setting Reply-To
as _harmful_, but it's annoying when lists are configured in such a way that
people routinely CC me. And that's actually not entirely illogical either.
If I got the lists via mail, either kmail or fetchmail would have noted
duplicates and quietly dropped one. It's only because I read via gmane news
that I see too copies.
