I suppose you've read both of these pages and made up your mind:

 http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-harmful.html
 http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml

I can't say I care either way. I usually reply to the list and I have
never run into anyone who uses different From and Reply-To fields when
sending to a list. I also use a mailer that has a separate reply-to-list
command (Mutt rules!) and it is easy to change any field in the mail
header.

It might be worth mentioning that all Debian lists I've ever frequented
have not done any Reply-To munging. Given Ubuntu's roots that's probably
the reason for this list to leave Reply-To alone.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

The present need for security products far exceeds the number of
individuals capable of designing secure systems. Consequently, industry has
resorted to employing folks and purchasing "solutions" from vendors that
shouldn't be let near a project involving securing a system.
