<- Reply-To: xywrite@xxxxxxxx
<- Sender: owner-xywrite@xxxxxxxx
<- From: Eric Van Tassel <101233.342@xxxxxxxx>
<- To: XyWrite_mailing_list 
<- Subject: Identifying sender of e-mail

Above is the relevant portion of your header in your message to the list.
The listserv correctly puts you as the From: and list as the Reply-to: 
A properly written and configured email program will know about this
distinction and use it appropriately. For instance, MR/2 ICE (the one I
use), shows me your name (the From:) in the message index. And, when I
hit Reply, it offers me a choice of sending the reply to the list or to
you (it offers the Reply-to:, i.e., the list, as the default). I would
regard your email program, Mosaic, as impaired.
