I think Jay's right -- mailman may have changed, but it's not
necessarily incorrect. There are few subtleties involving
To:/Reply-To: processing but it's one of those things a lot of
MUAs make configurable. Pine's "reply-always-uses-reply-to" in
feature-list, for example.

I noticed this when I tried to reply and saw both addresses in the upon checking, I found that Reply-To:.
How it got that way, of course, is a different question.
Probably because Jules' mailer is inserting an unecessary "Reply-to:"
header (pointless, since it's supposed to be used only when you want
replies to go to somewhere other than the "From:"), and then mailman is
applying the principle of "least modification" and *appending* the
classiccmp address, rather than replacing the one Jules' mailer put in.
I've noticed this with posts from one or two other listmembers.
