I really don't want to get into a discussion of the web UI here. I am
not directly involved in the changes that are going on, and I think
the wiki <http://wiki.list.org/x/RoBE> and the mailman-developers list
are more appropriate for this discussion.

However, I certainly agree that your suggested improvement above is
more readable and user friendly except that it doesn't correctly
capture the interrelated settings.

The first_strip_reply_to setting is independent and while it doesn't
make sense for 'poster', it certainly does for 'other'
