I do have the reply-to set to the list because some users just can't

line of the subsequent message...I tend to believe that it should be 
as easy as possible to reply to mailing lists.

Nope, I'm using SENDMAIL (latest version) for Linux.

I'll take a look at the version, and will check on the $taboo_headers 
setting...
