Reply-all should still work with the Mailman fix; reply-to contains member (or member and list, for the reply-to-list case) and To/CC are included by MUA as usual.  It's "Reply" that's broken, and in the reply-to-list case: if the sender's address is discarded then the recipient can't use it, and if it's included then the sender has to manually manipulate the recipients in the composer window just to reply to the sender only after hitting Reply.

I really have little issue with the Mailman fix as it currently stands.  It's borked, but it works.  My lists are mostly of the chatty reply-to-list variety anyway.  The display name isn't touched; lots of users won't even notice …

Apparently Mailman 3 will do this properly, implementing support for DMARC by rejection and not tampering. http://j.mp/1m6N5Jt
Perhaps someone should point them to this discussion, or advise on the rewrite-to-invalid hack (which BTW has shortcomings of its own, especially for users of touchscreen devices …).
