In Gmail, go to 'Help', then 'Contact Us', then 'Suggest a feature'. In
the better idea field, type something like 'Disable the reply-to
header. Better still, disable the reply-to header on a per-email basis,
but have the system-wide default to not using it. It screws up some
mailing lists'. Enter your email address into the applicable field, and
submit. Wait, and hope Google comes to their senses and fixes up the
quite frankly fucked current implementation.

For now, I really recommend using a non-gmail account for you conlang-l
email messages. It's what I do (as you've no doubt seen by now). All
conlang-l messages are archived anyway so it's not terribly important
to have them all in one place.
