And I've seen lots that don't. There is really no standard in this area.
My preference would be to have a reply-to: header pointing to the list. Others
would strongly disagree. And what do you do if the post already has a reply-to
when it hits the list (several options exist).
The only fool-proof way to identify list traffic is to subscribe using a
list-specific address for yourself. My software allows "sub-addresses" so I
can subscribe as <mjstraw+thinkpad@grove.iup.edu> and then filter on the
envelope to: address. Unfortunately, some automated list management software
treats the subaddress as significant and requires that I subscribe via the list
owner :-(
