I'm unclear how adding a Reply-To:, depending on users' clients is going to affect mailing list traffic. For an alternative, when the usual action is to reply to mailing list, it seems to me to be smoother to just mangle the From: so as to make it like so:
John Doe <john.doe@example.org.REMOVE.THE.TRAILING.PARTS>
Although the addition of capitalized anti-spam diversions in the domain part of email addresses is still en vogue in several mailing list, this method never gained traction. Why?
I would guess the main reasons are that it's ugly and makes the convenient automatic field-filling features of MUAs inaccurate, especially those MUAs that don't actually present the address (which are very common these days).
