I think this is an issue that you need to take up with your mail client--
preferably without inconveniencing everyone else subscribed at the same time.

I am exceeding surprised that VM would be unable to cope with the usual way
in which mailing lists work;  --Perhaps a little RTFM effort is required...

No.  It is now about 10 keystrokes to reply *just* to you;  it is about 15
keystrokes to reply to the list only.  Before it was 2 keystrokes to reply
to the list and 2 keystrokes to reply privately.  How can that be harder?

There is a *reason* why Reply-to is used on mailing lists;  it is called
meta-data.  You have just removed that useful meta-data, for everyone.

Apologies for the flaming nature of this LART,
