It depends on what lists you use. Technical mailing lists are often set
up without munging reply-to headers.

You can use a mail-followup-to header to tell mail clients where followups
should be sent. This header is not supported by all mail clients, so
it isn't always going to work.

Mutt has a reply to list function. Russel Nelson is advocating that
mail client implementors provide a reply to recipients function, but I
don't know that anyone has yet.

Personally, I think the disadvantages of reply-to munging outweigh its
advantages.
