Which is why there needs to be a standard to declare exactly what it is supposed to do and not to do.

Yes, but just conceptually it's quite a broad concept.

Given the current state of things wrt Reply-To and MUA behaviour i think "Do no harm" should be a major factor. Adding scope for further ambiguity and/or diverging MUA behaviour is worse than present situation.

Sure. But a proper MFT standard would state clearly who the reply was to go to (subject to user override) in all the possible combinations of List-Post fields, MFT fields, Reply-To fields, etc that could arise.

Given previous discussion, it seems unlikely it could ever become a standard header though.
