That depends on your goals.  Knowing the list behaves this way,
someone who wants to be Cc'd on their posts will have a greater
likelihood of that happening when most people just hit reply.

(I'm not that sort of someone, one copy is just fine for me. :)

Ahh, I see.

Both Evolution and OE and most other mailers will add the reply-to if
you specify it in the account configuration, none that I've toyed with
add it automatically.  But I'm sure there are at least a few that will
do something silly like this to their users.

That's a good thing.  It shouldn't.  I can't point at the proper
RFC's, but I know that in some of the posts and debates about the
default for this setting that I've read on the mailman-users list over
the years it's been mentioned.

Really?  I think all is well here.  The list is merely adding its own
address to the Reply-To, which is a decent compromise between not
touching the reply-to and overwriting it completely.  And it seems
many of the mail clients in use here will honor that header and send
mail to all the addresses in the reply-to.
