Hear, Hear!
The entire purpose of the system, INCLUDING THE RFC, is to make things
more usable to people. The reply_to header being set by the list is
frequently the most usable action. Any standard designed to limit
usability is absurd on the surface. As it it, I agree that the RFC allows
it. If it didn't, it should be changed - or (in the interest of
usability) ignored as unusable.
