No, most of the broken lists add no headers at all, and mail from them appears to be coming from the list, not the person who sent them. } In muttrc you may want to set $followup_to and $honor_followup_to, } and declare your mailing lists with "lists" or "subscribe" commands. } This will help you sending and receiving replies where appropriate, at } least with MFT compatible MUAs.

If you talk about some autoresponders and bouncers: } They'll most probably continue to use the envelope, neglecting your } "Reply-To:".
