Apology accepted, but I strongly recommend you learn to use some more reliable mail reader software -- something that doesn't accidentally invent reply addresses! There was no hint that my message to you was in any way associated with the NANOG list -- it was delivered directly to you and CC'd only to the person you were responding to. Some outside influence had to have associated it with having been a reply to a list posting and connected your desire to reply with inclusion of the list submission address. According to your reply's headers you're using Mutt-1.3.25i, and according to the Mutt manual 'g' is the group-reply command. I don't find any hint in the description of that command to indicate that it will magically associate a given message with a list, especially one that was not received from the list. Even the 'list-reply' command should not be able to associate a private reply with the list address. If Mutt really does magically associate private replies with list addresses by some mysterious mechanism then it's even more broken than I suspected..... -- Greg A.
