also, when i want to reply to a message from this list, the sender's
address appears in the to: field, and i have to delete that and put in
the list's address. in all other mailing lists that i've subscribed to,
mail automatically puts the list address in the to: field...

Some Apple lists do it that way and it's extremely annoying. Other Apple lists (and every other non-Apple list I've ever subscribed to) do it the RIGHT way. I "work around" it by having a script that will reply to the correct address and keep it in a DragThing dock that's only visible in Mail.

I don't want to start a big flame war about this, but the "Reply All" way is arguably more correct. Munging reply-to to point back to the list actually has several downsides:

Using "Reply All" works with both types of list, so I just use that.
