Me too! I think lots of Unix sites may experience this.

Actually, the problem is that there is a comma between the list
description (in quotes) and the list address (in angle brackets). If
that comma were removed, then I believe most mailers would be able to
handle replying correctly.

I've had this problem with many of the LISTSERV lists I participate
in. Recently I noticed that some LISTSERVs _do_not_ add this comma, so
there must be a solution out there, though I'm not sure what it is.
