Sorry, I disagree with you. My reading of RFC 822 supports the assignment
of Reply-To by Majordomo. This is also standard convention, followed by
all mailing-list software that I'm aware of.

Essentially, I don't see why you're so very concerned about this. Humans
still have ultimate control over who their e-mail goes to, regardless of
the setting of Reply-To.
