That's because I specified a reply-to back to the list.  I hit "reply"
to your message and it defaulted to your email.

Perhaps, but many mail clients ask for a reply-to when you first set up
the account, and in this case users will forget to look at the reply-to
for lists, when it is filled in automatically for them by their
mail-client.

It looks like in the case where no reply-to is specified, the list
leaves the "from" address as the OP, instead of the list.
