There is diverse, longstanding, and widespread disagreement (even discord) on the Reply-To manipulation issue among cranky old mail geeks. The people leading GNU Mailman development have historically taken the stance that list software should not add a Reply-To header and the switch to do so which exists in Mailman operates absolutely, as if it is intended to demonstrate bad side-effects. There is no nuanced handling in Mailman and probably won't ever be.
