I apologize for the inconvenience. The Reply-To: header was
added by the list admins without my consent, and it pissed
me off long enough so I finally made them change it back to normal.

I recognize that a number of popular mail clients lack the
"reply to list only" functionality. If you miss it you
should send a feature request to the developers if your
mail client. You should not reply to "all", because the
traffic on linux-dvb is low enough so I can read all
messages there, I don't need to get a second copy.


Cheers,
Johannes
