What problems do you experience?
(your posts are threaded correctly in Thunderbird at least)
While on the subject I can give my rationaly to having the list as
'Reply-To:'. I know that many people prefer having the sender as reply
to and mailman recommends this practice too.
I just think that the most common case is to post replies to the list,
and only to the list. This is done with "reply".
The alternative is to have the sender of each message in the reply-to,
and "reply" sends only to that individual. To post on the list in such
case you would have to "reply all" and then remove the sender from the
to-line. Which means the list would not be optimized for the most common
action.
Sorry for this off topic subject. Anyway, if someone has good arguments
for not having the list address in reply-to, I'd love to hear them :P
