Comment (by hinder):
In my email client, I can either click Reply or Reply All. Neither of these do what I want when the Reply-To is set to the original sender.
Reply: Sends the email to the original sender - in the vast majority of cases I want to send to the list (and we want to encourage discussion on the list)
Reply-All: Sends the email to the list AND the original sender. I don't know if this is just an Apple Mail quirk, but it means that when I receive such emails, they do not have the List-ID header and so don't get filtered into the right folder, meaning they stay in my inbox and are separated from the main thread.
If Reply-To is set to the list, I can just click Reply and all is well. If I want to send just to the original sender, it means a bit of copy and paste, but that is the rarer case.
