I agree with you about the specific case of the Reply-To: header, but
I think that it might be a good idea to change the list setup in other
ways. For instance, the current setup seems to remove all
In-Reply-To: and References: headers. This is a problem since it
breaks the ability of my email program (Gnus) to do threading, for no
particularly good reason. In fact, I believe that all headers except
for a those in a particular list are removed.
Another annoyance is that no special headers are used to indicate that
the message is in fact from this mailing list, so that you have to use
the Sender: header etc. to do mail splitting, which is also annoying.
