Reply folks,

The reply fields are set up correctly on the synth-diy list.

Please note that every mail program has two different "Reply"
commands.  One is a reply to just the sender (the "From:" field) and
the other is a reply to everybody ("From:" field, "To:" field and
"CC:" field).  You're supposed to use the approriate reply command for
your particular sitation.

The purpose of the "Reply-to:" field is if the author of a message
wants to modify the default reply behavior.  An example would be if
you were sending out party invitations and you wanted RSVPs to go only
to you.  Or if you wanted to forward replies to some third party.

The reference for all this is the classic RFC-822:
