The bottom line in this debate, as far as I'm concerned, is that from
the point of view of the recipient's MUA, it's not possible to tell if
the "Reply-to" is the sender's doing or the list's doing, so it can't
say to the user "press this button to reply to x, that button for y".
The header is ambiguous, and therefore, broken.
