Let me emphasize that the goal---followups to ietf-822(_at_)imc(_dot_)org and

But Reply-To: ietf-822(_at_)imc(_dot_)org / From:
djb(_at_)cr(_dot_)yp(_dot_)to does work for
responses to the list (using Reply-To) or to an individual (using
From). Without changing semantics of any fields. Without adding new
fields. Without expecting UAs to pay attention to an undefined field.
And which works with existing UAs.
No, it does not work with existing UAs. Most UAs will direct their
"narrow" reply to the Reply-To field and their "broad" reply to either
the address in the Reply-To field or to all addresses.
Further, it does not allow something like this:
| From: jdoe(_at_)example(_dot_)com
| To: product-announce(_at_)list(_dot_)example(_dot_)com,
product-discuss(_at_)list(_dot_)example(_dot_)com
| Reply-To: info(_at_)example(_dot_)coom
| Mail-Followup-To: product-discuss(_at_)list(_dot_)example(_dot_)com
