Speaking of reply to list, at least in Mutt you have to specify the list
in your config file in order to be able to use it (otherwise it can't
tell what part of the address is the list that you're trying to reply
to).  In my opinion, reply-to is just a hint to your MUA to clarify what
address is the list address.

Everybody who's talking about how mail programs should have a
reply-to-list feature also need to realize that all programs should also
have the ability to choose between replying to the "from" address or the
"reply-to" address.  In Mutt, you can tell it which one you generally
want to do.

I think that lists should definitely put in a reply-to line.  It's not
munging, because it's only adding a line--not changing any.  And it's
just a hint that you can choose whether or not to ignore.
