Some recent discussions on comp.mail.headers convinced me that this is
really the wrong thing; a mailing list reflector shouldn't screw around
with the reply semantics of your mail reader, which is what changing the
Reply-To field does.  It makes a mail reader's "reply to sender" and
"reply to all" commands be the same, which is useful only if your mail
reader doesn't have a "reply to all" command.

Because of this, I think that changing the way VM deals with From and 
Reply-To would be a "two wrongs don't make a right" scenario.  It seems
cleaner to me to have VM notice that the message was sent by the mailing 
list, and automatically edit it to undo the damage the mailing list is
known to have done to the Reply-To field.  (A variable called something
like vm-wrongheaded-mailing-list-alist maybe.)

Sounds like a good application for a hook, nudge nudge, wink wink.  :-)
