Hi Peter,

My assumption is that having a specific and adequate "reply-to" field 
reduces the chances of accidentally replying to the original senders 
(as oppose to sending the reply to the distribution list).

For "frequent repliers" of this mailing list, the possibility of 
replying to an original sender (instead of replying to the list) 
might happen by mistake.

Newcomers (or people more used to popular and newer "social media" 
than to "good old plain mailing lists"), by not having an adequate 
"reply-to" field could, inadvertently, send replies to personal 
addresses of other members of the list, instead of replying to the 
list itself.

I am not sure how the reply-to field is annoying, but I guess it 
depends on the particular email client and on how each one manages 
it.

To be clear, I don't object to trying this change. I just fear of the 
aforementioned potential consequences.

Regards,
Ady.
