I feel that the haskell mailing lists must have the reply-to field set, so that a person can reply to the list by just clicking reply.

I am unsure if I am the only one facing this problem.

This is a contentious issue:

May I add http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html

I personally think mailing-lists shouldn't put themselves in the Reply-To, and that easy replying to the list is something that should be handled in the mail client (I base my choice of mail client on this).

Indeed. I have reply, reply-to-all and reply-to-list one click or one key combination away, and as far as I know those features are present in almost all mail clients since several years, so ease of replying to list shouldn't be an issue. On the other hand, I do not want messages intended to be private communications to end up on the list, which would happen more easily with munged headers. So, count me in the leave-reply-to-alone camp.

What client are you using?
