There is another very good reason to set Reply-to:, e.g. my scenario:
I have a single incoming e-mail address in one domain, but most of my
outgoing e-mails come from another domain, and therefore, because the 
outgoing domain does not receive e-mails at all, reply-to ensures that 
no matter which of the 4 or 5 machines I email from, and no matter 
which  domain they show the e-mail as being from, that any and all 
replies will come to the one and only incoming domain. While normally 
I'm using a decent e-mail client that allows forging the From: address 
to look like my incoming address, sometimes the Reply-To: is the only 
way to guarantee that it is even possible to get an email to me. Now, 
if you've got a way to solve these problems without using Reply-To, I'm 
all ears! Oh, and, By-The-Way, I don't want an e-mail CC of any reply 
you send to a mailing list, I don't need two copies of your email, and 
I'm willing to be patient for the mailing list copy to arrive. Further:
