 Andrew,
 if I reply to a message that comes from "tech-talk-bounces" I will
 likely reply to "tech-talk-bounces". You'd have to edit the recipient
 to avoid that.

No.

Tech-Talk messages are keeping the original sender in the "From:" header
intact, so a simple "reply" should create a mail to the original sender.

The "tech-talk-bounces" address is added in the "Sender:" and - more
importantly - "Errors-To:" headers to direct mail bounces to mailman's
automated bounce-handling mechanism.

This fully complies to the relevant RFCs and works without any problem on
most mail clients and with ten-thousands of lists that are handled by mailman
world-wide.
What mail client are you using that shows this erroneous behavior?

If it's supposed to work like that it probably does.
I use pine when I'm at home, seamonkey when I'm at work.
