Reply-to munging seems to cause many problems so I leave it turned off
for the mailing lists I administer.  This document describes many
of those problems:

The authors of Mailman have also come out against reply-to munging in
most cases[1], though they provide the option for people who want it.
It would be nice if list subscribers could set their own Mailman
preference for this.

Cheers,
Fyodor
