If I'm reading it correctly, multiple Reply-To headers violates RFC
2822.  The fact that VM supports it is fine, but that doesn't mean
Mailman should emit it.

  Be generous in what your accept and conservative and what you
  emit.

Note: Need to make sure you do duplicate collapsing of the Reply-To
header in case the poster has already set Reply-To to the list in
effort to nix CC: dupes.
