Reading the link I don't find any convincing argument not to set a
Reply-To. I'm also not very much in favour to change my email client to
elm. The majority of mailing lists I am subscribed to do set Reply-To to
the list address, so I guess it's not really an issue (or those list
admins are all bullying their users, according to the reference).
Actually, I find it pretty uncomfortable to take part in discussions
when the Cc list is ever growing the more people respond to a thread.
Some will reply to all, but some will forget and disrupt the thread by
only replying to the sender, the list archive will become incomplete,
information lost. And even if everyone is disciplined enough, my inbox
will fill with mails I already received from the list.

matthias
ps.
If you intend to reply to this email, please make sure that it goes to
the list and not to my address. I like my inbox nice and tidy.
