I'm using Mailman, too, and I didn't buy the explanation why one shouldn't
use Reply-To mangling. I have 16 lists and no problems with it. But I won't
put any stress on it. OTOH, I also won't reply to the list, then, and any
posts I answer will only go to the poster. So all you have to do is to
judge what my posts are worth because I cannot make an exception for
this list; that would take too much of my time and mean that it would be
too costly to answer at all (I would have to read the header of each mail
instead of just telling my backbone to click on "Reply").
