I stand by the interpretation that the intent of RFC822 in this regard is
that the Reply-To pointing to the [mailing list] is set by the author of a
message to that system.  The definition of the header states that it is an
originator header, which means that regardless of how it is used it is only
set by the originator of a message.  Mailing list managers are *NOT* the
originators of their lists' traffic, therefore mailing list managers should
not modify originator headers of that traffic.
