Doesn't need to be.  It's text in my message explicitly asking
you NOT to carbon-copy me.  Policy for this list requires you to
not carbon me unless I specifically ask you to, so I'm going
above and beyond the requirements of the rules by specifically
asking you not to.

Reply-To is not the proper header for asking that list posts not
be carbon copied.  It is the proper header for specifying that
private replies be directed to a different email address than the
"From" address.
