Using which client? (Rhetorical question...X-Mailer: Ximian Evolution

not.

I too am on several 10 of mailing lists. Only three don't force
reply-to.

So even if we took a vote on the list, with those wishing to abstain
registering a non-vote (since they likely don't care), it wouldn't
matter. I see the argument for both sides, and see some merit in each
argument. However, I don't find in my experience that forcing a
reply-to is a bad thing. But then again, it's your list. Those of us
who disagree can either take our football and go home, or just deal
with it.
