If you want to actually *read* the replies to the messages you post to a
mailing list, you have two options:

    1. Subscribe to the mailing list
    2. Set a Reply-To or Mail-Followup-To indicating your reply
       preference

Posting to a discussion list when you do not expect to receive a reply is
considered either rude, or dumb.

Or rather, your client is honouring the Reply-To header, which is
correct.

Huh?

As was the preference of the author of the e-mail to which you were
replying. 

As you did not indicate a reply preference, it is natural for Jeff to
assume that you are subscribed to the list and reply accordingly.  If
you missed his reply, it is no-one's fault but your own.
