The list follows RFC 2822. The Reply-To header is intended to be
created by the originator of the message. List software that
overwrites the Reply-To header destroys the function it's intended
for.
There's an excellent essay on this at:
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful
Mailman implements RFC 2369, which is intended to address this
issue. If you want replies to go to the list, I suggest that you
use a mail client that follows RFC 2369. If you choose to use old
software that doesn't recognize the List-Post header, please don't
complain about software that follows RFC standards.
