We have a problem here where mail from a Mailman list is sent to
a BlackBerry device.  When the recipient does a "reply-all", one of
the reply recipients is the list -bounce address.  This appears to be a
bug in the BlackBerry MUA code, but we have not verified it with
BlackBerry, as we get our BlackBerry support from Nextel.
