Yep, I know. But there is more than one solution for this, see below.

I just got a reply from my sys, it can't be changed within Listproc.
Note that they are still trying to get Majordomo running, but for the 
moment you'll have to live with this To:-line.

Yet this confusion can easily be countered by running a smart mail 
client, which filters incoming mail by checking the Reply To: line, and moves 
the messages to their own separate folder. 

Pegasus/WinPmail is my favorite (and freeware), others only in the
Pro version (non freeware) like Eudora Pro (not Eudora Light) and
Agent (not Free Agent).
The mailers included in Netscape, Explorer and MS Exchange apparently 
also can do this, but the garbage that often comes from those mailers 
won't make me recommend them....8-)) 

A very complete and slick site for most of this software is:

The best stuff is found on your doorstep (it's Dutch!).....:-))
