This is a very controversial point.  For an argument on the don't-add-Reply-To
side, see http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html (no connection
between unicom and unicode).

In a word, it is much worse to send private mail unintentionally to a list
than to send list mail unintentionally to just one person.  The latter can
be undone, the former cannot.

In addition, some people actually need the "Reply-To" functionality because
they read in one place and post in another.  Header munging by lists breaks
that.  Some lists add "Reply-To" only if it's not already present, but that
causes utterly unpredictable behavior for everyone else.
