Not being a M$ person, I don't have any idea what you are talking about

No. If I'd intended that, I'd have put both addresses in my
Reply-To header. In fact, I would _prefer_ it if people would
post list replies only to the list.

Why does this issue concern you? It never occurred to _me_ to
check out people's Reply-To headers until you brought it up.
I just hit List-Reply (in mutt) to respond to a post on the
list. If I want to contact someone personally, I create a
new mail for that purpose.
