I can easily disagree with this. Simply put, no client I've ever used
had this. I've used many different clients from pine, to KMail, to
Mozilla (and derivatives), to Em@iler, to Eudora, to Mail.app on Mac OS
X. Not a single one of those clients, while I used them, had a reply
to list.

Which one? I've been looking at that RFC and I can't find it.

I don't see a specific header in this message for that purpose. It may
be I just don't recognize it. However, I still don't see anything
which is immediately obvious. Of course this list doesn't reply to the
list so it may not be there. In my own lists, also using mailman, I
don't see a specific list header for replying to the list. Instead, I
use the Reply-To: header.
