We've had a think about this and would like to retain the Reply-To
header because:
1) Most of the time, replies should go to the list.
With the 'Reply-To' in place, it's easy for most users to
"do the right thing" most of the time.
We fear that if we remove the Reply-To, we'll end up with a mailing
list full of queries but sparse in answers.
2) Autoreply loops haven't been a problem due to design (rather than
blind luck! :) All messages are checked for and stamped with an
X-Loop header.
