This caution wouldn't be quite so necessary, and replying in
private would be a little easier, if the SGVLUG list didn't
insist on setting the Reply-To header.

See http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
for a discussion of why having a mailing list set the Reply-To
header is a bad idea.

I vaguely remember this being brought up before, I think the
list software at the time made such munging hard to avoid;
perhaps the new software is more easily configured?
