Forget what the From: line says. It may have the originator's address
or it may have the "Community" address as Pete explained earlier. What
matters for Reply-To-List is that the *List-* headers are in the
message being replied to, because that's what Evo is looking at. If
they aren't there, then it will use Reply-to-All, and that reply will
of course not have the List headers either, so the whole chain from
then on is broken.
