Yes, that is most annoying. My complaint (and I guess many more from other
users will follow) is, that if you reply to a message on the list, the
author of that message gets a private mail, too, as he is listed in the
Reply-To:-field. This is *wrong* and must be corrected (i.e. removed)!
(BTW this reply to Alfed's mail is to one sent to me privately because of
that error).

No, the Envelope-From: only has "cctalk-bounces at classiccmp.org", there's
no "+foo=bar" in it.
And yes, the change in the address fields don't cure the bounce problem
because the envelope from field is unchanged (and *that* field is used for
bounces, not the header fields *within* the mail).
