Impossible? Bah. In my mail(.app) I click on the e-mail address
and get a pop-up where one option is "Reply to Sender" - easy. Both
options are available when reply-to is to the list, most definitely.
Reply-to [the list] is not at all harmful. I'm a card carrying
member of the Apache Software Foundation which is all about
community, and this is how every list there runs. I realize folks
have strongly different opinions on this topic, and I've debated it
before with vigorous opposition. I'm merely stating my opinion and
putting in my vote for reply-to the list. To each their own :)
