I think it's commonly accepted that there are two kinds of replies you can
make to a list posting: A list reply or followup, and a personal reply. Which
one does Reply-To refer to?
And if someone who is not subscribed posts, with Reply-To set to both the list
and his own mail address, and I send a reply accordingly, but with Reply-To
set to the list address alone, you still have to use "Reply to all", in which
case I *still* get an extra copy.
The fact is: The semantics of Reply-To is ambiguous and there is no good way
to tell the MUAs of others' whether you want to be CCd.
