Because this listserv, like many others, insists on adding a
"Reply-To:" header pointing back to the listserv.  At least it will
not override an existing "Reply-To:" if the message author has
arranged for one.

If so, it is because Pine isn't playing by the rules.  But then
the listserv is not either.  See Chip Rosenthal's "'Reply-To:' Munging
Considered Harmful" at http://garcon.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html .

If this is Netscape 4.0, use Edit Preferences, Mail & Groups, Identity,
Signature File.
