Well if you can see your message headers you'll see that your name and
email address is in the from line, and the mailing list address is in
the reply-to line.  So normally when you click on reply, the message
would go to the reply-to address.  Obviously this turkey's email client
ignores the reply-to line and uses the address in the from line.  One
thing I have noticed is that each one of these out of office notices
I've received from this bozo has been to a message that I've replied to
in the mailing list, so I'll probably get another one for this post... 
I do hope this moron is back soon so that he can turn that damn thing
off....

You know I just thought of something...  Just think of the mess it would
make if it did send messages back to the reply-to line....
