Sorry for replying again on this thread, but I found a few more arguments:

Reply-To munging is against RFC 2822:
---
When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to
which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent.
---

See the word *author*; the list software is not the author.

So the standard is violated.
