They control what LISTSERV does with Reply-to:  tags found in incoming mail
to a list.
 
In fact, from the fact that my reply initially was going only to Robert
privately but most replies from this list go back to the list, one can
surmise that LSTOWN-L is list,respect and that Robert's mail normally has a
Reply-To:  tag for some reason and LISTSERV respects it for this list.
