I cannot keep track all of the irrational things done by all MUAs. I'm
not even surprised by anything new and wrong I see any more.
It is certainly POSSIBLE that because *some* mailing lists impose a
fixed Reply-To, some MUAs ignore it on list messages. It is certain that
some just ignore it no matter what because they are written by fools.
Also, some people configure their MUA to "reply all" by default all the
time, overriding any normal Reply-To support.
Because I see reply-to on plenty of other emails.
You can see it for yourself in the raw message at the list archive:

and the mailing list system takes care of not sending duplicate
replies.
I removed your direct email from this reply and only kept the
mailing list address, but for the record I don't see any reply-to
headers.
But it's right there in the copy that the list delivered to me:

Whether you see it is a function of how your MUA (TBird, it seems...
) displays messages. Unfortunately, it has become common for MUAs
simply ignore Reply-To. I didn't think TBird was in that class.
