that is because CentOS 'list server' has ability to insert a "Reply-To:"
line into forwarded emails.

because "list server" does not have ability to do so, or is not enabled.

this is because many responders do not pay attention to what they are
sending, or, do not care who email is sent to. ;-)

call it such if you will. but if poster is 'with wisdom', replier

nope, that identifies list and has nothing to do with addressing.
"From: ","To: ", "Reply-To: " are what determines how addressee lines
are built in an email reply with "thunderbird client" when you click
on "Reply" or "Reply All" icon button in "Tool Bar".

such should be, but may not be, available with "list server" used
at fnal.gov.

if you do so, please send it directly to "List Administrator" and not
to this email tech support list. i, and i imagine many others, do not
