My initial view was _slightly_ less positive, but it didn't get
through.  Bruce tells me I am now whitelisted, so I'll try again,
but this time using 'reply to all' :

It seems to do the job for dealing with DMARC, but two comments:

1. For most posters on these lists, replies used to go to the list
as a matter of course (and people who set Reply-To have always been
a pain for breaking that : if we have to, we have to) and now by
default replies will go to the poster, not to the list.  I suspect
people will start to reply to all.

2. The reply to the list is actually sent to the poster's name via
the list (with the list name in the address).  Seems odd.
