You haven't read the "Reply-To Considered Harmful" article.  The argument
is that some mail servers NEED the Reply-To set, because they (incorrectly)
send out mail with a From address that cannot be sent to.  Correctly
configured mailservers don't need this hack, because they send out mail
with a proper From address.

So the question comes down to, do you reply to the list more often or
do you reply off the list more often?  Because the more frequent case
wins.  In my case, I reply to the list more often, which I also believe to be
the case for MOST people; it is the EXTREMELY rare case that I ever reply
off-list.  Hence, we make that case easier for the lazy, which means setting
the Reply-To in the listserv software.  As a side effect, the list traffic is
also far more lively than it would be if we set the software NOT to set the
Reply-To header (which is a good thing IMHO).
