Sorry, Learned something new today ;-) All other lists that I am signed-up on place the reply-to back to the list for the convenience.
My mail server is MDaemon and it has an option which I had checked (not checked by default) that will create a reply-to if one it not found. Notin' like a good beatin' to learn :-) I guess I know what that option really does now...

It is not the job of a mailing list to add one, it is the job of the senders email program to add or not add one. Most (but not all) do. If Reply-To: doesn't exist, your email program will (should) reply to the From: header. Unfortunately your mail system, probably MDaemon, is taking the Return-Path: header address which is *only* used for mail delivery failure reports, and adding it as a Reply-To: header. This is *wrong* and against the RFC's. Please don't waste time blaiming the list, rather find out why your mailserver system is incorrectly changing headers...
