On the contrary, speaking as one of the postmasters for
python.org and one of the list admins for the mailman-users mailing
list software hosted on that site, avoiding reply-to: munging is the
standard.
Moreover, for some users, if the reply-to: header is munged, they
have no way of recovering the previous state.
