On the other hand, if the list is set to reply back to the list
itself, and I want to reply to a particular user and click 'Reply to
All', I don't have the option of simply erasing 'kclug at kclug.org' and
going on with life.  The Reply-To header munging eliminates their
email address.  Then I have to go back to the original email, copy the
user's email address, and paste it into the new email.  This is a big
pain for someone simply trying to reduce noise on a mailing list.

Are you asking for 'kclug at kclug.org' to be listed before
'joe at somedomain.com' when you hit 'Reply to All'?  If so, I would
think that this would be a feature of your email client, rather than
the email list.

Email clients *should* have options that read 'reply' and 'reply to
list', in addition to 'reply to all'.  Some clients do, but most still
don't.

Speaking of, what email client are you using?
