Indeed. I think Tom tends to Reply All, so you get two copies - one 
direct and one through the list. If you reply to the direct one, that 
doesn't have the List-* headers, so will go only to Tom by default. If 
you reply to the one received through the list, that does have the 
List-* headers and if your mail client uses them it will reply to the list.

In my client, I have to select Reply to List to use the List-Reply 
header, but it sounds like yours uses it by default if available.

Yep. This list is set up differently from many others, but it is more 
correct. It shouldn't rewrite the From or Reply-To headers as that 
causes other problems, particularly as this list accepts emails from 
non-subscribed users who sometimes request a direct copy of replies. If 
the From or Reply-To address has been overwritten, it is difficult or 
even impossible to email or copy someone individually. The Sender header 
I think would be safe to overwrite, but doing so wouldn't be 
particularly useful as mail clients don't use it for replies.

Mark.
