This isn't a fault, it's intentionally. Imagine what happens if one of the list members turns on his vacation auto-responder. List sends to auto-responder, auto-responder sends to list, list sends the auto-response to the auto-responder ... a nice email bomb.
Well, unless either of the two participants takes care of such situations. Nowadays, auto-responders should be intelligent enough to not answer to mailing lists and list software should be intelligent enough to detect loops.
However, looking at the (hidden part of the) header of a mail coming in from the list, there is zero indication it was sent by a list software. Typical header entries like 'List-ID' are missing. If there wasn't this [rp-ml] added in the subject, it'd look like an entirely private email.
Not sure which list software RP-ML is using.
