IMO, it'd be a godsend. Note, BTW, that very few users have the capability
of manually inserting a customized Reply-To on every message -- and many
do not even have the capability of inserting any Reply-To line at all. Thus,
the only practical way to "leave it up to the user, singular" would be to
implement it at the list server. Owner default, subscriber customizable.
A very nice idea.
