That could be ... interesting.

What's not clear to me is whether, when a reasonable person attempts to
send a message to the list in reply to my message with the bogus
reply-to, it works as intended.
IE, do a significant number of clients interpret "reply-to" as "always
reply to this address even if replying to a message that came from a
list"?
What I want is for people attempting to reply to me *on the list* to
easily be able to do so; on the other hand, I want to make it more
difficult for people attempting to reply to me *directly* to do so.
