Some comments and then I will shut up about this issue:
* Reply-to: should not be altered but added if not present. I don't understand
what can be wrong with by default having reply's to a mail of a mailing list
going to that mailing list, if that is an agreed practice for the mailing list
?
* Some people are forced to use bad mailers.
* Sometimes practice gives other solutions then what should be done according
to standards or religious discussions
* I don't mind if people wants to keep on complaining about having sent a mail
to them directly.
