[ppml] List modification

if the PPML list is cc'd and not the prime, you 
then have to have multiple rules.

In addition you get multiple copies of the same
email.

For example:

This email will send to Jim and Owen, plus the list,
which will send it to Jim and Owen  AGAIN

So Jim and Owen will get this message TWICE, have to filter
twice and store twice.

Having the list set reply-to: to the list reduces this to 
only one email each.  It also ensures that the LIST
is receiving mail.

Count this as my vote to CHANGE THE LIST AND SET REPLY-TO:
towards the list

thanks
