First time I hear this bullshit.
Mailing lists intended for public conversation.

> RFC 2822:

> ``When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es)
>   to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent.''
>  [ 3.6.2 Originator fields ]

It is author of message. If not, your message would have never reached the
list.
