Perhaps so but most email lists are set to Reply to Sender which is
the list the email came from. And prior to DMARC, it was nearly always
possible simply to retrieve the real sender''s address out of the From
field.
I do think this DMARC thing has mangled the Reply To field.
Googlegroups has apparently not gone down this road yet. But
Yahoogroups and freelists have.

The problem lies with the regrettable (but very common) practice of lists
munging the Reply-To field so that the list address is listed, thus directing
replies back to the list. Mail.app for some reason removed explicit support
for replying to the Sender, so you will have to burrow in the headers, find the
From line, copy the address from the menu (click the author's name), and
manually send mail to the recipient. Sorry about that.
Because so many lists do this by default, I now hit Reply-All instinctively,
because Reply alone is almost always completely useless. Simply get into the
habit of checking the composer window before you hit send.
