The only time I can see having the user who emailed in the reply is if it is a mailing list that allows non-subscribers to post. Since, a non-subscriber would not see the reply if it was only sent to the list. This is a closed, subscriber only list though. There's no reason to even send the message to the users e-mail. A "reply to all" the original poster gets the message twice.
On the other hand, if the list is set to reply back to the list itself, and I want to reply to a particular user and click 'Reply to All', I don't have the option of simply erasing 'kclug@kclug.org' and going on with life. The Reply-To header munging eliminates their email address. Then I have to go back to the original email, copy the user's email address, and paste it into the new email. This is a big pain for someone simply trying to reduce noise on a mailing list.
That of course is not what I'm asking. Leave the user's email or don't, i just want the list's email listed first.
Are you asking for 'kclug@kclug.org' to be listed before 'joe@somedomain.com' when you hit 'Reply to All'? If so, I would think that this would be a feature of your email client, rather than the email list.
Email clients *should* have options that read 'reply' and 'reply to list', in addition to 'reply to all'. Some clients do, but most still don't.
Speaking of, what email client are you using?
