For the record - I'm against the change. RFC 2823 says the Reply-To
header is an originator field, and the list is *not* the originator of
the message.
On the other hand, this breakage is so common I've given up, and my
mail reader now has buttons for Reply to List (which uses the
List-Post header instead of reply-to), and Reply to Author (which uses
the From: header, ignoring reply-to). This breaks people using
reply-to for what it was intended for, but that's less painful than
dealing with broken lists - no matter which way you define broken.
