Yes. You shouldn't be using reply to sender to reply to the list.
Your mail client should have at least one of reply to all, reply to list
or reply to recipients that you can use to send mail back to the list.
Where more than one of these is available, people will disaggree on which
one is more appropiate.
As for one opinion on why reply-to headers shouldn't be munged, see:
