Sorry, I wasn't clear - it doesn't. I requested it as a feature ages
ago and it hasn't been added.

(This leads to a permanent floating flamewar on the Ubuntu-Sounder
list, for example. "Add reply-to!" "No, that's against this obscure
RFC! Use Thunderbird!" "I shouldn't have to change client just to talk
on a non-technical list!" etc., etc., etc.)

The workaround is to hit "Reply to all" and delete the personal email addresses.
