I don't haven't been following the entire thread here, so this may have been 
previously explained.  The reason the reply goes to the originator and not 
the list is because a long time ago some network vandal repeatedly set up an 
automatic reflector which caused messages posted to SLE to be responded to.  
By changing the "reply to" field to the originator, SuSE prevented that from 
happening.  There are perhaps more sophisticated methods to solve that 
problem.  I too find the current configuration to be awkward, but I 
understand why things are the way they are.

I noticed someone mentioned configuring mutt to automatically reply to the 
list.  I don't use mutt, and I don't have time to learn to configure a new 
application.  I use KMail.  It would be nice if KMail supported such a 
feature.
