It's because that's the wrong place for it. If you put a Reply-To: <list> header in, then it's a pain to reply privately; with most clients, you'd have to edit the To: line by hand, or answer a prompt along the lines of "Use Reply-To:?". A better solution is for the client to support the usual reply-to-author function and also a separate reply-to-list function that is sensitive to common mailing list headers. Mutt has these features; if your client doesn't, why not suggest to the developers that they add it (or if you're a programmer, write the patch yourself and submit it)? As with the filtering question that started this thread, improving your client (or replacing it with a better one) is a better solution than demanding that the rest of the world bend over backward for your defective software.
