I have a question about how to configure this field.  Recently, a list
owner complained to me that sometimes replies went to the list, and other
times to the original sender.  It's configured "Reply-to=List,Respect"
so I expected that all replies would go to the list.  But I was able to
find a recent posting in which the Reply-to line was set to the original
sender.
 
So is this the function of the "Respect" part?  Reading the listserv
docs it would seem that this could happen if and only if the original
posting had a "Reply-to" line specifying the original poster.  I would
think that would happen quite often, so that's why I'm confused.  If
that's the case, do I want this list configured "Reply-to=List,Ignore"
instead?  Or am I completely off base?
 
Thanks for any help!
