You both appear to be using Evolution, so if there's a list reply in
your mail client Aaron, then there should be on in Tim's. (I have no
idea of Evolution's features. I took a look at it years back and it's
similarity to Outlook combined with it's lack of support for inline
PGP made it a very short look.)

One problem is that you have your address specified in the Reply-to:
header and the list doesn't strip this. It simply adds the list
address to this. So the reply-to in your messages looks like this:
Reply-To: akonstam at sbcglobal.net,
For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list at redhat.com>
Tim doesn't do this and his address is not in the reply-to. Since
your address is the same in the reply-to as it is in the from header,
adding a reply-to is pointless. If you remove that, you may find that
you get less list mail directed to your personal address.
