Yes, that's the odd thing -- it's not *all* messages. My reply to
Witchy earlier showed the symptom, because Witchy's message had both
addresses in the Reply-To:. Yours, however, doesn't, and mine didn't.
 A few others I've replied to also had two addresses, but most seem
just to have the list address.

I wonder if some people are mailing the list with a Reply-To: already
set, and the new version of mailman is adding to it instead of
replacing it?

Witchy? Did your message have a Reply-To: when you sent it?

No, it's the Reply-To: header, and not mangled by anything here.
