There shouldn't be replies to a Digest, but given the many ways to 
misconfigure an Out Of Office reply, it happens.  The digest message has a 
 From header that is benign, i.e. will not result in a reply's distribution 
to the list.  Fine, but why would Mailman add a Reply-To header to digests 
when there are no Reply-To headers in "regular" list messages, and to make 
matters worse, specify the list address, resulting in distribution of Out 
Of Office messages to the list?  Or am I missing a way to omit this header 
from digests?  Thanks.
