Well done!
This new way fails safe. A message intended to be public may get
sent privately by mistake - a minor inconvenience that can easily be
remedied by sending the message again correctly. The old method
risked messages intended to be private being sent publicly - a
unfortunate consequence that simply cannot be undone.
Interestingly, there's an argument that list processors have no
business inserting a Reply-To header, which is instead the sole
domain of the message's author. RFC 2822 appears to require this:
'When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es)
to which the *author* of the message suggests that replies be sent"
(my emphasis). The author of a message, of course, is not the list.
