It certainly does work as he wants it for me (as I understand his
intention). :-)

I.e. For senders on DMARC "p=reject" or "p=quarantined" domains, what
would originally have been their From address is placed in the Reply-To
field of the mailing list post. For me running Thunderbird, this ensures
that when I click the Reply button my reply goes to the individual
sender's Reply-To address (what was originally in their email's From
field), not to the list.

That is, as I understand it, what Steve wants. It could well be that
Steve's mail client is failing to prioritise the Reply-To address over
the From address (whereas mine priorities the Reply-To address over the
>From address when I click the Reply button). For the avoidance of doubt,

I have separate 'Reply to List', 'Reply All' and 'Reply' buttons.
