Mailman, at least, *adds* a Reply-to header -- it does not remove/munge existing
headers. So if an original post includes a Reply-to header and the Mailman list
server is configured for "Reply to List" then what the list subscribers receive
includes both Reply-to headers. And the mailers that I use (TB and Evo) both
deal with multiple Reply-to headers in a reasonable way.
