Wasn't around then but concur as AFAIA, for discussion oriented
mailing lists, setting/rewriting the Reply-To to point to the list is
very much the typical method of operation. Indeed, all the lists I
administer (and subscribe to) do that. Off the top of my head I can
think of only one scenario where you might leave Reply-To's intact;
that would be a 'classified advertisement' list (if such exist) where
the subscribers would want to communicate with the seller.
