If the original sender sets their own mail program to create a header
line of Reply-To: [log in to unmask], then LISTSERV will pass that on in
the Reply-To: header line in the list msg.  (Thus it 'respects' a
pre-existing Reply-to: line.) If the sender does not setup their mailer
to do this, then LISTSERV will put the List Address there. (Thus it
forces Reply-To: [log in to unmask])

Eudora does allow reply to sender (or whoever is on the From: line) but
it defaults to using the Reply-To: line first.  You and your users just
need to learn how to use Eudora.
