Well then you won't like 2.1.18 because it will put the original From:
in Reply-To: even if first_strip_reply_to = Yes, but the author won't
get 2 copies if the author's "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?"
option (nodups in the admin Membership List) is Yes which is the normal
default. The issue however is the author gets the direct reply, not the
list copy which is the only way it can work, but may not be the copy
she'd prefer to get.

I'll consider this. It would help to keep my attention if you would
submit this to the tracker at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+filebug>
