I must have missed this complains, but until now I also missed, that
the Reply-to is indeed munged. As this is considered bad practice for
a lot of reasons
as well as good practice for about the same number of reasons
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

No thanks, don't have the time...
C'mon guys - get a clue - is it really that easy to accidently post a message
to a public mailing list?
Yes, reply-to should go to the list - but it's also quite patently obvious
when a given message is from a mailing list - normally the fact that you get
two copies would be a clue --- oh never mind. I guess everyone's
configuration is different...
Please people, if you have the energy to be outraged about some perceived
injustice, then you should have the energy to double-check your recipient
list.
This is really a non-problem.
