Although I personally agree with you that setting the Reply-To address 
to the list is more sensible than the alternative, I'll point out that 
it is not the only "sane" option.

I don't agree with all the arguments here, I think the author has jumped 
to some unjustified conclusions, and I don't think the argument is 
anywhere near as settled as he thinks. Certainly the mailing list should 
never override a Reply-To header that has been set by the sender, but 
that doesn't mean it can't set one where it hasn't been set.

In any case, you should be able to set the Reply-To address yourself 
(either manually, or if your mail client allows it, automatically) and 
the mailing list will honour it. I have done so in this post, so we'll 
see what happens.
