I'd say that's perfectly reasonable.. Unfortunately some of mailing lists flat-out munge any existing reply-to's.. which is the bad part everyone objects to.

ie: if I explicitly set a reply-to of myself because I wanted private replies, and the list over-wrote that, I'd be a bit bent outa shape. That's nothing short of broken behavior by the list. However if I don't have one present at all, it seems reasonable for the list to add one. (Although I would admitt, I currently prefer getting two copies like I do now..)

The only drawback is on "tech supportish" mailing lists where a some of the posters aren't subscribed.. like here on saTalk (look around for requests to be directly cc'ed.. there's a noticeable number of em.. makes me wonder how many of the one-time posters didn't think to ask for such treatment but need it)

there's no reply-to set already; meaning that unless the sender says otherwise
the reply goes to the list, just as he wants it to.
