One side affect of this, currently, is that it takes looking at the
headers (which you can't do by browsing the mailman mailinglist
acrhive) in order to see the posters real email address.

This strikes me as a major negative.

On a practical level, rewriting the From: to be the list address

address isn't going to be in any header that the MUA knows what to
do  with.

If I read the code correctly, the original author's address is added to the Reply-to. MUA support of reply-to is a bit variable, but generally it is supported.

On the other hand, automatically adding the author's original From: address to an existing Reply-To: field violates the intent of the intended use of Reply-To: as an override of the From: field for replies...
