That is exactly the sort of situation that MFT is supposed to deal with. In the absence of MFT, then using the List-Post address is the right thing when "Replying-to-List". But if MFT is present, it should override the List-Post. There might even be a 'list' keyword in the MFT header to mean reply to List-Post (to be used in addition to the sender's address if he want replies both to the list and himself). -- Charles H.
