The real problem IMHO is that most email clients do not properly support
'Reply to Group' (in essence, reply to To: address), or the user does
not configure them correctly to do so. In these cases, it's simpler for
the users to have the mailing list server add a Reply-To header, so that
the regular 'Reply' button will reply to the group.
It's netiquette to not change the Reply-To header by servers; as far as
I understood things correctly. This implies that replies using regular
email client software will not go to group, but the writer personally.
