The list server does send an acknowledgement message if you follow the
procedure [1]. Maybe you have sent your subscription message to the
list address, in which case I might have been kind enough to subscribe
you myself (but didn't send a confirmation).

Setting a reply-to field with the list address is discouraged in W3C
mailing lists, mostly because it can fool people into sending comments
to the list when they wanted to reply privately. I don't know about
your mail software, but it should provide two ways to reply to a post:
one to the author (called 'reply' in my case) and one to the list
(called 'followup'). Setting a reply-to field would make both
functionalities do the same, and one would have to edit the To header
by hand in order to reply privately.

Max.
