I'm on about the same number, and the split is more like 40/60 for me, in favor of not setting reply-to. also, most of the lists I admin set reply-to, at the request of the people on the lists. in the end, the 'right' policy is the one chosen by the list admins, since they have the right to set whatever policy they want. but this does seem like an issue that just won't go away, ever. -- joe
