While I've certainly been a strong detractor of Reply-to ever since
reading that article, there are still those who do not agree.  I think
adding the reply-to header should be an option, although it should be
strongly discouraged.

Ugh, I just went to the discussion forum off that page for the first
time in quite a while.  I see where well over a year ago I suggested
that replies to a list should not be sent out to people who are in the
TO or CC line (at least as an option).  I'm pretty sure that feature
is no longer in Mailman, and it should definitely go back in.  If
someone has time to Mailman hack in the near future, please consider
adding that :)
