No, that is not what Greg is talking about.
For instance on Thunderbird, when I get email from a listserv, I have an
extra "reply list" button. I also know that claws has this feature also.
The client detects the email is from a listserv and sets up that buttoin
automatically. it has nothing to do with how the list admin sets the
reply header.
