There's a big difference. One thing is that replies WITHOUT the
"Reply-To:" header will STILL go to Majordomo@mydomain.org (which is
a nuisance), and some other thing is that majordomo __explicitly__
tells the listmember to do so (which is a foolish nuisance).

Is it possible that the WELCOME message be headed as:

           Date: Mon, 27 Sep 1999 12:38:13
           To: X <x@domain.com>
           From: Majordomo@mydomain.org
           Subject: Welcome to ABC
---->>     Reply-To: ABC-owner@mydomain.org


Again, is it possible (I guess so!) to avoid the "Reply-To:" header?
If so, how? (which is the source (file) I should change?). Or better,
(don't ask me why) is it possible (I guess so!) to insert the header
"Reply-To: ABC-owner@mydomain.org" in the WELCOME message? If so, I
would *just* want to know HOW.

Many thanks.
