The PICLIST L-Soft mail processor inserts a Reply-To:
which overrides the From: address when your mailer
replies. In Outlook, the only way I know to "easily"
do this is to

   (a) open the message you want to reply to (it isn't
       enough to "preview" in the main Outlook window)
   (b) Select the text in the From field (even though
       it doesn't appear to be selectable text, it is,
       and it will select the address you want, not
       the text name as shown)
   (c) Right-click copy, Cntl-C or Edit... Copy to get
       the address into the clipboard,
   (d) Click the Reply button
   (e) select the piclist address in the To: field --
       the whole thing should select on a single click,
   (f) Right-click paste, Cntl-V or Edit... Paste.

At that point, you should have a reply to the original
poster, not the PICLIST.

This is why I always set my Reply-To: to myself; I
occasionally get messages intended for the list,
but I think it's better than having private replies
go to the list. One can always reply to the list
from my messages by doing a reply-to-all or group
reply.
