Now, wait, I don't get it. Let's say you're replying to a message that was 
sent to a list. It's got its reply-to set to the list address, which is 
what you want and you should be able to set your own reply-to. So you send 
it off back to the list. Now, doesn't majordomo strip some fields, 
including reply-to, and replace it with list-appropriate fields? I mean, 
sure, I don't have reply-to set in my replcomps, but I do have it set in 
components. So you're saying if I sent an email to a list using 
components, replies to my message would override majordomo's prescribed 
behavior and go directly back to me? I mean, isn't that the whole point of 
majordomo, that the administrator has control over those options?
