The relevant RFC would be 2822.

If mailers have started ignoring reply-to it would be *because* of lists that
set it. In the presence of such lists a mailer what's a mailer supposed to do
when you ask it to send a personal response to the author? How can it figure
out whether the list has done something wacky with the reply-to header or if
it's set as intended to the original author's desired contact point?
