Tony,

Just add omega-list@xxxxxxxxxx to the CC header in your replies.  That's
what post people seem to do.  The person to whom you're replying will
just get two copies of the reply then.

I don't agree that this is a "problem" to be fixed.

>Any others with this problem or just misconfiguration on my side?

I think it affects everyone, based on the fact that often I will
get two replies to something I wrote, one to me and one to the list
because the person put the list address in the CC header.

The way to fix it is for the mailing list software to insert a
 Reply-To: header in each mail.
