Okay, we'll use (something like) that for now.

Well, the relevant section of the options page says

Where are replies to list messages directed? Poster is *strongly* recommended for most mailing lists.

and the help for this option cites the supporting http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html and the dissenting http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml.  So I didn't touch the default setting, being uninformed to decide on such a vastly controversial issue...
in truth, I don't particularly care which way we go, but we had best make sure that nobody feels strongly.

Jennifer, since you proposed the mailing list, would you like to be another administrator of it?

Alex
