Well for one I noticed you didn't set that header, and I doubt "Most
folks" would. You reply to a List posting... you would expect the posting
to be sent to the List. What you suggest means that everyone else on this
List would have to set the M-F-T header, as opposed to the List
Administrator setting just one header.

Perhaps things are different in the Unix world, but the generally accepted
practice I see is that the List sets the Reply-To header to the List
address. I have already received 3 personal postings on this thread, so
you can add redundancy to the list of cons to keep the status quo. ;o)
