interestig reading (thanks!), although very elm-centric. Many mail 
readers don't support an easy way to reply _only_ to the To: address. 
Pegasus does (if configured correctly), but I simply forget it. Since 
most replies (should) go to the list, I am still convinced that the 
list address should be the default offered by the mail reader.

The important argument is IMHO what you cited from the Mailman docs: 
"...that some posters depend on their own Reply-To: settings to 
convey their valid return address." although I don't know the 
circumstances why one can't set the From: accordingly.
