Comment (by knarf):

 Setting reply-to would limit users that actually know how to use their
 clients. Not setting it seems to limit (in the sense that some learning is
 required) not that experienced users. No solution is right for everyone.
 Understanding the difference between 'reply to' and 'reply to all' cannot
 be that hard, and I don't know of a mail client which doesn't have both
 options.

 As to reply-to-list - that can actually be a problem if not used in the
 right way. Lists like users are open also for non-members (moderated
 because of spam, but open). Replying only to the list would leave the
 original sender without reply. Reply-to-all id probably the best fit for
 our needs.
