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.

I'm not missing the point.  I disagree with you.  I don't believe you should
"require" anything of the people who want to subscribe to a mailing list.
For
that matter, I subscribe to several mailing lists and this is the first that
I've
experienced this problem with.  The RedHat mailing list, the PHP3 mailing
list, the MySQL mailing list, and the BugTraq mailing list, just to name a
few, all support what I'm trying to accomplish.  If anything, the sheer
volume
of their memberships and their traffic proves that they know how to do it
right.
I'm simply following their lead.
