I did the same thing, but I have to remember to do it.  I believe the 
original suggestion was to configure the list server (so Greg will have to 
look into this) so that any messages it sends out get the following line 
included in the header:

Reply to:type-3@umich.edu

If this is done then our mail programs will see that and reply to it instead 
of to the original poster.

I was surprised that the messages come with:

From:<original_poster>

in the header instead of:

From:type-3@umich.edu

This would also be a solution.
