No, the problem is on the other end.  The reply, seems to select an
invalid tag field, owner-<listname> instead of using the reply to, or
anything else.  I have been given contradictory explanations as to why
this occurs.  It is not clear to me that the MSMAIL site can correct
the problem by configuration.
 
If MS Mail can be reconfigured would someone PLEASE give EXPLICIT
instructions as to what needs to be changed.
 
Other than that, the best thing you can do is to ask your ms mail
users to not do that.
