Tyler,

I could do what you ask, Tyler, but the loss to the list would be 
greater than the protection gained for those folks who mis-send 
their replies.

My mailer allows me to accept the reply-to field, default to the 
sender field, or do nothing (forcing me to type in the address) when 
responding to mail.  In other words, if I wanted all of my replies to 
default to the senders rather than to the list, I could handle that in 
my mailer.  See if your mailer will do that for you or, alternatively, 
just try to foster the habit of reading over your response before 
hitting that send key.

If I were to change the reply-to feature, many of the responses 
which SHOULD be coming to the list would go to the sender only 
and we would miss a lot of interesting information.

Best,
Norm
