I've sussed this problem out before - it's because, with some senders the
original senders' email program puts "Reply-To"as well as the list, and the
individual's one comes first, and is thus given preference.

Still, as long as you remember to check the address, you're fine. (For the
benefit of people who are as cluey about email as I was for the first 3
years I had it, you can put a shortened/nick- name of the list in your
Address Book to save rewriting the name in full each time)

  By default, pressing 'reply' will send mail back to the list, not
    to the author of the message you're replying to.
