I am running Mailman version 2.1.5. I have a couple users reporting that when they use the "Reply" command in their mail program, that both the list address, and the sender of the original message, addresses are put there. I have Mailman set to set reply to the list, so the sender shouldn't be there. One user uses PM Mail, another Outlook Express.
Any ideas?

They're probably doing a "Reply-All", which is replying to all the addresses shown in the "From:", "To:", and "Cc:" headers, and ignoring the content of the "Reply-To:" header.
If so, then there's not much you can do about this -- you're at the mercy of the clients.

Assuming that by PM Mail, you mean Pegasus Mail, then it's probably a case of the user is selecting "Address Reply to: All Recipients" in the reply dialog box when they click Reply.
As for OE, they are probably clicking Reply All, which puts bitha addresses in the To line.
So, in both cases, it's just how they are replying.
