[BusyBox] OT: mailing list setup

[Benno]

Can we please not. It is not that hard to hit group reply. It
is a real if you actually want to reply to just the author.

Also consider that the orginal author may have actually used
a reply-to header because that is where they want replies
to go. By munging Reply-To that info is gone, making it more difficult
to reply to the author.

And of course the reply to munging doesn't help if someone is on the
CC-list because just using reply will drop them.

Finally the cost of accidently replying to just the author is pretty low,
you can bounce the email to the list. The cost of accidently replying to 
the list instead of just the author, which is what can easily happen
with reply-to munging, is much higher.

Please don't.
