A major part of /my/ problem with using Reply-To for directing list-replies is that many MUAs will then direct replies (be it 'reply' or 'reply-all') to the mailbox(es) in the Reply-To field automatically *without* involving their user in this decision, with great risk that user doesn't even notice the redirection (and hence commits an indiscretion by sending a private reply to multiple addresses, not just the original author).

If that annoying behaviour were discouraged via an official document I could then whine at the implementors of such MUAs,

So is there any interest in this as a possible way forward?
