The problem is that this is the very bone of contention in the reply-to religious war. Is it not? I may be wrong, but I thought this is the very setting that people get so defensive about changing. As we have it now, people have a suitable default pointing back to the (correct) list but also the freedom to change the reply-to header should they want to. If we strip the reply-to header in order to correct for the problematic MUA's, then the latter freedom is lost. And if I remember correctly, some people get very angry about this.
