Well, I think the most common use case for a mailing list is to reply
back to the list, isn't that the whole point?
Personally I find it annoying that I get two copies of each reply to
one of my posts, one that is filtered into the mailinglist folder
because it has the correct X-Mailing-List header and the other just
sits there in my inbox, wasting both bandwidth and disk space in the
process.
Besides, the if the Reply-To thing is so dangerous, why do most other
mailing lists do it?
