I should have expected that there would be some reason (or several) that 
that is not done more widely; and I suppose that I can explicitly set 
"Reply-To" to the list when responding to specific users who have a 
long-enough history of sending responses to me that should go to the 
list.  The point that convinced me was the possibility that someone may 
actually need a different receiving address than their From address and 
Reply-To might not be redundant, causing its rewriting to leave no way 
at all of contacting a message's author off-list.  Consider the request 
withdrawn.
