Why not set up your mail list software to set the "Reply To:" field in
the message header to point to the Keelynet list, rather than the
message originator? The reply to problem will then disappear. You also
won't have the originator of the message getting duplicate responses,
one from the list, and one direct.

This is the way "everybody else" does it! :-)
