You can strip reply-to headers locally. That's what I do when using poorly
configured lists. It doesn't keep you from losing the real reply-to
addresses, but does keep you from inadvertantly replying to the whole list.
People that don't want separate copies of replies, should be setting
mail-followup-to appropiately.

My perception of this list is that it is not run like a technical list.
Besides the reply-to issue, there are a lot of people starting new threads
by following up to existing threads, useless subject headers, and a lot
of top posting.
