It's an old conundrum for mailing lists.  If the Reply-To header isn't
automagically set, people end up sending private e-mail when they meant
to post to the list.  OTOH, if Reply-To is automagically set, people
post to the list when they meant to send private e-mail.

No matter which way it's handled, on every list I've been on somebody
complains that it should be the other way.
