Hi
I've been admin for a Mailman 1.1 list for a while, and am very happy with it, with 2 little exceptions that I'd like to run past you. Basically I'm wondering if these things are incorporated in 2.0 and if not, you may find them worthwhile to consider.
The ability to press the good old "reply to all" for a mail delivered by mailman, and have a reply addressed to both the list, and the person that posted it. Currently I find with either the reply to the list or the poster options selected, I get "reply to all" addressing the list twice or just the list, respectively.
A block option that rather than hold detected messages for approval, simply will trash them, never to be seen.
I hope I have not missed something in the announce's re the above, and if I have, appreciate your patience.
Best Regards

That's how it ought to work. If it doesn't, one of two things is the case:
your mail client is broken. Mailman can't fix that.
your mail lists are setting Reply-To, and overriding the mail client. Don't set Reply-To.

I expect you'll see that extension at some point, but not for 2.0. I'd like to be able to set up a number of regex's, and for each one, define it as "hold", "reject", "discard", and for each (other than discard, of course), define an optional return message for them. It's on my list to do, as soon as I find time.
