I think the idea is that a list admin might want to force
reply-to-alls to go back to the whole list.

I don't remember, but thinking about it now, I think there's little
harm in allowing the list admin to strip reply-to even if they're not
going to munge it. I'm not saying it's a good idea, but then we all
know where that leads to. ;)

Yes, it should default to 0. I'll make that change.
