Many reasons, explained here for example:
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
"Good" e-mail clients usually have 3 different reply modes:
"private reply" (replies only to sender)
"list reply" (replies to the list, and not to the sender)
"group reply" (replies to everyone mentionned in the
headers)
I don't know if it'd be possible to reduce the number of
modes to 2 ("reply to sender" and "reply to all") with it
still being useful. Either way, changing the Reply-to would
be bad because everyone that uses their e-mail program the
right way would get confused (as they'd be sending private
replies to the list). Between accidently posting to one
person, and accidently posting to a list, I'd much rather do
the former.
