(and: No top posting please.)

Yes, I just found, that haskell-cafe provides the List-Post field,
which is more and more supported by various clients and according to
RFC.

Nonethelesse, in the presence of duplicate eleminating mail transports
or storage systems the direct copy arrives first and the later copy
(carrying the required header fields) is eleminated. Of course you
only see that if somebody is replying to you mail with a client that
doesn't send to the list only on "reply all" or "rplay list" -- as
yours did.

There is -- AFAIS -- no way around procmail magic (or one has to turn
off all duplicate elimination, but sometimes that is not in your
power).

Everyone interested in the topic should also read

Note that I don't suggest reply-to munging by the list: It's has to
everyones individual choice if he/she works with a "broken"
(i.e. restricted) mail client that doesn't support the list header
fields.
