The problem is that Andrey was cc'd in the email, which arrived before the email from the mailing list. Both mails have the same message-id, so gmail discards the second one it receives. This means the mailing list software doesn't have a chance to change the headers.

I see. So the problem appears whenever a person does Reply to All, which sends two messages - to the ML and the original author that is specified in CC? But was the older infrastructure adding CC to the messages from the ML? I think it wasn't. Do we need the CC?

The From field used to be the sender, but was changed to be the list. Without the CC, the sender's email won't appear anywhere. Besides which, reply all could always cause this issue (and I have observed it occasionally in the past).

The sender is still present in the From on my end. Here's what I see in your message: To: boost@lists.boost.org From: Steven Watanabe via Boost Reply-To: boost@lists.boost.org Cc: Steven Watanabe Sender: "Boost" Your message contains Reply-To, so when I hit Reply the composed message is correctly addressed to boost@lists.boost.org.
