Then your mailer seems not to be using the "Reply-To:" header in the
mail, but rather the "From:" header. It even ignores the "Sender:"
header.

In this mail those headers were:
	From: Laurence <Laurence.Orchard at tesco.net>
	Reply-To: laurence at orchards.org.uk, For users of Fedora Core releases
<fedora-list at redhat.com>
	Sender: fedora-list-bounces at redhat.com

A simple reply on this one WILL send the message to both addresses in
the Reply-To header from my mailer (Evolution 2.0.2)

That is true, but not needed for the majority of mail clients.
