this sounds to me as if you could set up a horrendous endless loop with
this setup?

>#1) A post to LIST-A  goes to subscribers on both LIST-A and LIST-B.

>#2) A post to LIST-A shows that it's from LIST-A to subscribers that

>-Reply-to: currently shows that the message is from List-B.

>#3) A reply to a post on List-A goes to subscribers on both lists.
>-A reply from a person on List-B currently goes to List-B subscribers only
>not to the larger List-A.

>#4) A post to LIST-B goes to LIST-B subscribers only.
>-Works fine

>#5) A reply to LIST-B goes to LIST-B subscribers only.
