Well, careful -- LISTSERV also offered the "Respect" option, which
does as I describe below. I'm not sure if at UW the configuration was
 
  Reply-to= LIST # always force Reply-To: classiccmp_at_...

or

  Reply-to= LIST,RESPECT # only add Reply-To: classiccmp_at_... if sender
                          # didn't specify her own.

Anyone remember?

Out of curiosity, and without any other arguments surrounding it --
are there objections to having majordomo set the Reply-To unless the
user explicitly sets it to something else? I've looked at the source
and it seems like a trivial hack, and I'd be happy to submit a patch
even if it's not going to be included in majordomo proper.

(For what it's worth, this is even a contentious issue amongst the
*developers* of majordomo! :-)
