Take for example this very mail that you are just reading.
Where should the reply go when you click "Reply", to me or to the
list?

   "Some administrators claim that Reply-To munging makes it easier
   for users to respond to the entire list, and helps encourage list
   traffic. These benefits are fallacious. Moreover, Reply-To can have
   harmful -- even dangerous -- effects. If you think Reply-To munging
   is a good idea, I hope I can change your mind."

Thank you Greg - I knew I wasn't the only person to think falsifying
ReplyTo: is a bad thing.  As I said - the IETF mail-list doesn't do it -
and
they come up with the standards, No?
