Several possibilities, in order of decreasing ridiculousness:

   a) change the global setting in gmail.com before each posting
      to Conlang and change it back after sending to conlang

   b) use a different account instead of gmail.com for Conlang

   c) you can't: write a large, clear warning into all your mails
      to Conlang that the reply-to is wrong.

Due to wrong reply-to it seems that most of us have missed some
interesting posts that you cite here.

One day when Conlang only consists of people with gmail.com accounts,
we might think about changing Conlang's settings to just ignore the
reply-to and always insert the list address instead.  I don't like
this, but since more and more people are using Gmail and since Gmail
is not dropping this silly 'feature'...

Quite interesting phones.  Due to what L1 can your friend easily
pronounce this? :-)

I'd like to read more as soon as you have more! :-)
