Fairly much *all* mail clients have two 'reply' options — one to reply in public, and one to reply in private. Setting the Reply-To: to go back to the list is a deliberate hijacking of the user's decision, and it's redundant since if they *want* to reply to everyone, they *have* a button for that. FWIW we've fixed Evolution to warn you about this abuse, and give you an option to *ignore* a Reply-To: header which points back to the list, if you asked it for a private reply.
