"Reply to list", where it exists at all, probably uses the List-Post

There is no standard-based support for rewriting the user's Reply-To
header (which practice irrevocably discards the original Reply-To and
incites people to, incorrectly, reply to the From header). See also
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html [the Mail-Followup-To
header it proposes is not the subject of any RFC]

mailing lists without any means
of unsubscription, you'd be likewise somewhat miffed.
As long as people are
working on the list, can we fix it so that 'reply' and
'reply list' go to different places?
