I'm afraid that Frank's explanations about the mail going to the sender
and not to the list lead to misunderstandings.  So, here's what's
going on:

1. The mail redistribution service (i.e. the listserv) generates a
   "Reply-To:" field in the header of every mail message it sends.
2. Previously, this field contained the address of the mailing list
   (LATEX-L@DHDURZ1.BITNET) causing every reply going to all the
   people on the list.
3. Now, I changed this, so that the "Reply-To:" field contains the
   address of the original sender of the mail.
4. This means: if you use the "reply" button on your machine, your
   answer will probably only go to the original sender.  If you
   want to reach all people on the list you have to explicitly
   send your reply to <LATEX-L@DHDURZ1.BITNET>.
