While it's not always wrong, it's most certainly a Bad Idea (tm) to mess
with Reply-to: headers.

Most email clients provide two reply functions: "reply to sender", and
"reply to all". Inserting a Reply-to: header changes the behaviour of the
"reply to sender" function. As such, mailing list software shouldn't ever
want to touch it.

So, no offense, but I don't think it's the task of the mailing list
software to compensate for subscribers clicking the wrong reply-button.
