While we're on the subject of reply-to addresses, here's something that
really bugs me: Why are some lists set up such that when you "reply" to
a message from LISTSERV, the reply goes to the listname-request address?
I hate that! When I reply to a message from LISTSERV, I want to send
commands to LISTSERV. Usually it's when I've done a QUERY, and I reply
to the query results with a SET to change my settings. I don't want that
going to the list's owners, and neither do they.

Talk about counterintuitive.
