I've been using elm since about 1989 - it _replies_ to the Reply-To:, and in its absence to the From:.
Now look at my mail header. I'm using my suse address for from but set Reply-To to my private address. This is fully correct but requires that those responding *think* before pressing that send button or alternatively a MUA that has a 'list reply' function/button (L in mutt by default AFAIR). I know what I'm talking about because my MUA is a Windows Program I happen to like, Forté Agent. This MUA has no list reply, so I have to use 'reply to all', which in turn forces me to play cut & paste between To and CC to direct the mail to the list. This is just a tiny bit of extra discipline. I think that most people are just too lazy to do the extra work. It's the same with those heaps of mails on this list with text above and a full quote following. What would those people think if someone would attach a complete copy of their letter to his reply snail mail? Philipp
