As the creator of the list, I usually point people to this: http://producingoss.com/en/mailing-lists.html#reply-to This explains the tos & cons, and Karl leans slightly to my side of the argument :) I prefer lists that don't set reply-to, but I participate in both kinds, and appreciate that there is no black & white 100% answer. This section also points to the two canonical rants pro & con reply-to.
