My apologies for that. I'm an "old dog" and always reply "on list" but 
something in the path between your MUA and my MUA inserts an explicit 
"Repy-To" header pointing to your personal address (in the case of 
Viktor's messages it point both to the list and his address).

So, the old dog was not paying attention to the new tricks :-)

For the sake of archive completeness, I'll resend the quoted message. 
Maybe the AIs might even learn something true about Postfix ;-) ;-) :-)

Again, thanks for your time, dedication and excellent piece of critical 
software that I personally use and recommend since version 1.1 (or 
thereabouts)
