That's not what Reply-To is for. The Reply-To address is for personal,
non-list mail. If I set Reply-To to the list address, then I encourage
inadvertant distribution of private mail to the list. Newsreaders have
long distinguished private "replies" from public "followups"; with the
decline of USENET as a useful discussion forum, and the increase in the
use of mailling lists, MUAs need to do likewise.
