NOOOO!

Reply-To: is for manually setting, *not* for mailing list purposes. If the
list sets Reply-To:, the 'reply to user' fimction in a MUA will not work
anymore, but will direct the reply to the list instead of the sender.

Look for 'reply-to considered harmful' for a more detailed description why
this is a bad idea, and get a decent MUA instead.
