 <P>
-This section controls what happens to the <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span>
-headers of messages posted through your list.
-
-<P>
-Beware!  <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> munging is considered a religious issue
-and the policies you set here can ignite some of the most heated
-off-topic flame wars on your mailing lists.  We'll try to stay as
-agnostic as possible, but our biases may still peak through.
-
-<P>
-<span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> is a header that is commonly used to redirect
-replies to messages.  Exactly what happens when your uses reply to
-such a message depends on the mail readers your users use, and what
-functions they provide.  Usually, there is both a ``reply to sender''
-button and a ``reply to all'' button.  If people use these buttons
-correctly, you will probably never need to munge
-<span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span>, so the default values should be fine.
-
-<P>
-Since an informed decision is always best, here are links to two
-articles that discuss the opposing viewpoints in great detail:

-
-<P>
-The three options in this section work together to provide enough
-flexibility to do whatever <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> munging you might
-(misguidingly :) feel you need to do.
-
-<P>
-<DL>
-<DT><STRONG>first_strip_reply_to</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This variable controls whether any <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header
-    already present in the posted message should get removed before
-    any other munging occurs.  Stripping this header will be done
-    regardless of whether or not Mailman will add its own
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header to the message.
-
-<P>
-If this option is set to <i>No</i>, then any existing
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header will be retained in the posted
-    message.  If Mailman adds its own header, it will contain
-    addresses which are the union of the original header and the
-    Mailman added addresses.  The mail standards specify that a
-    message may only have one <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header, but that
-    that header may contain multiple addresses.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>reply_goes_to_list</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This variable controls whether Mailman will add its own
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header, and if so, what the value of that
-    header will be (not counting original header stripping - see
-    above).
-
-<P>
-When you set this variable to <i>Poster</i>, no additional
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header will be added by Mailman.  This
-    setting is strongly recommended.
-
-<P>
-When you set this variable to <i>This list</i>, a
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header pointing back to your list's posting
-    address will be added.
-
-<P>
-When you set this variable to <i>Explicit address</i>, the value
-    of the variable <code>reply_to_address</code> (see below) will be
-    added.  Note that this is one situation where
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> munging may have a legitimate purpose.  Say
-    you have two lists at your site, an announce list and a discussion
-    list.  The announce list might allow postings only from a small
-    number of approved users; the general list membership probably
-    can't post to this list.  But you want to allow comments on
-    announcements to be posted to the general discussion list by any
-    list member.  In this case, you can set the <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span>
-    header for the announce list to point to the discussion list's
-    posting address.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-<DT><STRONG>reply_to_address</STRONG></DT>
-<DD>This is the address that will be added in the
-    <span class="mailheader">Reply-To:</span> header if <code>reply_goes_to_list</code> is set
-    to <i>Explicit address</i>.
-
-<P>
-</DD>
-</DL>
+TBD.  Note that umbrella lists are deprecated and will be replace with
+a better mechanism for Mailman 3.0.
