For mailing lists it should be set to blank. It is often a good idea to have a new 'account' or profile set up for the mailing lists if you like to keep the reply-to for others. It's usually not necessary, though. Hitting Reply in almost any mail client would direct the mail to you by default. Not all lists do it, but Mandrake lists set to reply to the list if you leave yours blank. If you don't the others on the list will not see replies, and it makes following threads and troubleshooting much harder.
