do a search for 'reply-to munging considered useful', for what I feel
is a much more convincing argument. the link where I found it
originally,
http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.html
appears to be down, but you can probably find it elsewhere.

really. I'm on about the same number, and the split is more like
40/60 for me, in favor of not setting reply-to. also, most of the
lists I admin set reply-to, at the request of the people on the
lists.
in the end, the 'right' policy is the one chosen by the list admins,
since they have the right to set whatever policy they want. but this
does seem like an issue that just won't go away, ever.
