Ah! Not all mail is so affected. The e-mails of Dag, Yuri, NIlls, 
Kenneth, Michael and myself are so affected.

Hugo's has the "Reply-to".

Maybe I ned to look a *second* time at my setup of T'bird. But I think 
the Rpmforge mailer s/b inserting a "Reply-to"? I wonder why?

Well, looking at the below, maybe Mailman needs the adjustment.

Hugo has Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (X11/20071115). Has "Reply-to".
Kenneth uses Mulberry/3.1.6 (Win32). Has *no* "Reply-to".
Yuri uses Evolution 2.8.0 (2.8.0-40.el5). Has *no* "Reply-to".
Nils has Apple Mail (2.915). Has *no* "Reply-to".
Dag posted with Alpine 1.00 (LRH 882 2007-12-20). Has *no* "Reply-to".
Michael has Open WebMail 2.51 20050627. Has *no* "Reply-to".
users-request at lists.rpmforge.net seems to be Mailman v 2.1.5. Original 
confirm request has "Reply-to" and "Welcome" message has *no* "Reply-to".
I use Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 (X11/20071020). Has *no* "Reply-to".
On my CentOS 4.x with Evolution 2.0.2-0.35.el4 all posts from CentOS 
(Mailman 2.1.5) have "Reply-to" and post from lists that go to my 
Thunderbird 1.5.0.12 also have them.
