Yeah -- I can do that, and will probably try it. But I fear it's not
going to work all that well. Problem is that I post to this list much
more often than the other one, and these two are the only ones I use on
a regular basis that don't put the listname in Reply-To.

In any case, my brain has a tendency to zip right to the AS users alias
without paying too much attention since I do that a lot.

And before Chuq comes in and tells me all about how my mailer *should*
be able to do a Reply-To-List using the Sender: or X-List: fields, I
will note that this mail app is so *far* superior in my estimation to
every other macintosh mail client I've seen, that I'll gladly live with
these few little problems. It'd be nice if it was open source so I
could just fix them myself, but alas, it is not to be.

Maybe I'll start being truly happy when I hit X, and can use mh or elm
again. Although I have to admit, I've come to appreciate an
intelligent[*] graphical interface to mail and news, so that may be more
painful that I imagine.

[*] i.e. *not* the ridiculous *click**click**click*(What's that keyboard
for, anyway?)*click**click**click* idioms of Outlook, Entourage,
Netscape, Eudora, NewsWatcher, (name any other client on OS <=9). Gack.
Maybe it won't be that hard to write something in Cocoa?
