The usefulness of a subscriber reply-to option is that it should reduce the bandwidth devoted to reply-to munging dramatically. Rather than each "let's change reply-to" post turing into a several-hundred-post thread, as they always seem to, those threads would be squashed by a single reply: "If you don't like it the way it is, go to this URL and change it."
Except that doesn't change it for the whole list, which is what the "let's change reply-to" complainers want - it only changes it for replies from that particular person. The bandwidth will still be consumed.
