The author is a typical clever person who assumes that everybody should 
migrate to a good mailer. It's too different from the reality.

Not really. No RFC defines what a mail user agent _must_ do with "reply to 
all". If I am wrong, let me know.

My policy is that Reply-To should be set to a mailing list, if it is a 
member-only list, where there is no reason to send a reply to individuals. I 
do this, because I frequently observe that people respond to from addresses 
when Reply-To is not set. From my point of view, the harm is bigger when not 
set.
