... Anyway, as the vdr list used to have Reply-To: the list, I enabled it again, even if I think it is wrong (the mailman admin interface even states: "Where are replies to list messages directed?

I don't mean to further heat up this discussion, just one question: isn't the most reasonable way to reply to a mailing list posting to the *list*? What sense does it make to reply only privately to a ML posting? Sure, in some rare cases one may want to get into contact privately with a poster, but in the vast majority of cases replies should go to the list.
Personally I don't want to have to think about whether I have to reply to the sender or to the list - I just hit the Reply button and want the message to go where it makes sense, which in case of a mailing list is the *list*.
Since I have set up my procmailrc to insert Reply-to headers for the mailing lists I'm subscribed to, there is no real problem for me. All I want to avoid is that people send messages to me privately _and_ to the list.
