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.
