Some lists have the Reply-To: set to the list address. I think you can even configure the From: to be haskell-cafe instead of the poster, making the poster merely identifiable by the Sender: field.

Do you have strong opinions on this subject?

Here is an argument against Reply-To munging. I'd say I agree with it:

Agreed. There is a semi-standard header "List-Reply-To:" that some MUAs will use...

...and furthermore, if you insist on making the reply action in your mail client do a reply-to-list by default, then you can munge the headers yourself. (I've been doing this myself for a ong time -- until I started using gmane, that is) Most modern mail systems have wonderful filtering and header munging capabilities. All Haskell related mailing lists supply a List-Id header for easy filtering. Cheers, Ben
