Far as I know, reply to list, respect tells Listserv to pset up the
headers in mail it sends out over your list to have people using the
reply command of their mail system send the reply to the list, but
Listserv will respect the rreply-to header line in the author's original
message if present.

Thus a message sent to your list with the headers:

from: [log in to unmask]
to: [log in to unmask]

will have its replies routed to [log in to unmask] but a message sent
to the list with the headers:

from: [log in to unmask]
>to: [log in to unmask]
>reply-to: [log in to unmask]

will have the replies to the message sent to [log in to unmask]
unless the person replying edits their message's to field.

You might try reply to list,ignore which tells Listserv to ignore the
sender's reply-to header and send the message to the list without regard
to what the reply to line says.

Good luck.

Brian
