Not exactly. Sometimes what you call "author's email address" is a
non-existing one. So whatever information goes into the original Reply-To
should be preserved. Or just simply the original poster wants to be
replied to another email address.
Yes, I also use Pine, and I usually "reply to all recipients" (with such a
high volume its very easy to miss a message), sometimes only to the
original poster, and very few times only to the list.

I think this is a good idea.
I really believe that having no Reply-To for mailing lists is the best
"default state", and users willing to change this could/should do this for
their own.
Thanks.
