[Mailman-Developers] patch: reply-to list and sender

[Christian Seitz]

Hi all,

we moved our mailing lists from Majordomo to Mailman several months ago
and one disadvantage of Mailman is, that you can set the reply-to only to
"Poster", "This list" and "Explicit address", but not to something like
"This list and sender".

This patch is testet with Mailman 2.0.6 to 2.0.11 and it works fine for
us. Could you please include this patch in the next version of Mailman?
