You're missing the point.  This list doesn't set any reply-to and
requires people to know the difference between "Reply" and "Group-Reply".
Of all people, subscribers to this list should know the difference.
IMO, setting the reply-to to be the list itself is just bad.  Broken
autoresponders create mail loops, and no one is happy when that happens.
