Ok, maybe the replyto is not the best idea, but how about to have mail
from the mailing list actually have the from being
mono-list@lists.ximian.com. This is the header from the email I am
replying to.

                              From: 
Dick Porter <dick@ximian.com>
                                To:

If I hit reply, then it will attempt to reply to Dick Porter, and not to
mono-list@lists.ximian.com. Incidentally, I am using Ximian Evolution,
the same mailer by the guys who own this list!

Unless I have set it up very wrongly.
