I remember this being discussed at one point, and then we either didn't
do anything or decided there was some reason to retain the Reply-To:
Does anyone remember that discussion? It would have been a year or
more ago.

As to having the gateway suppress the Reply-to tag, that would be
easy to do on a global basis. There is no way to do it for just one mailing
list.
