Nouveau - Dec 2009 - reply-to header

Afaik the absence of that header is the reason that the reply button
in mail clients or in gmail answers to the sender rather than to the
mailing list.
Does anyone know why that header is not included ?
I consider it a must have for any mailing list, without reply-to it's
quite impractical.
Or is everyone used to use reply-all or something, which includes the
ML in CC, and no one does the same mistake than me ?
Maybe the problem is just me, as I only used mailing lists that filled
reply-to correctly before.

and what about people who are not subscribed? with "reply-to" header
would "reply" still cc them?

... I have an opposite experience, but maybe it's just me ;)

I don't think it's just you...
I believe some mailing list software has the option so the default  
"reply" goes either to the list of the original sender.  This could be
checked by the list admin.
Also - some mail clients (I use Balsa) have a "Reply to group" (in my
case, just hitting "g" instead of "r") which seems to do the
right
thing here.
