Yup, it has finally happened.  The drawbacks of not setting the reply-to
field for this mailing list far outweigh the benefits.  That is, saving some
of us from having to constantly redirect about 5 posts a day to the mailing
list is worth far more than avoiding the hypothetical pitfalls that setting
a reply-to address can cause.  Setting the reply-to address is not going to
result in a greater percentage of the World's babies dying, no matter what
some system administrator or old hack web page tells you.

We are doing this reply-to change on a trial basis, but it we see no
problems after, say, three months, then it will essentially become a
permanent fixture of the cygwin-xfree mailing list.

Later,

Harold
