The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Borut Mrak <address@concealed>]

Hello!

I am setting a mailing list here using Sympa and I wanted it to change
the Reply-to header to the list address. Unfortunately, Sympa does not
set the Reply-to header if it is already present.

I changed the code to do it in any case by moving the Reply-to header
to the From header and insert its own Reply-to.

If this is some brain-dead mistake I am making, please tell me, but I
think many of us want Sympa to work this way. If there is more interest
in this feature I could rewrite it, document it, add configuration options
and then submit a patch.

This patch is against sympa 2.6.1 as packaged in Debian package
sympa_2.6.1-3.deb. I hope the Debian people haven't changed the file
a lot ;-]

bye,
