No. RFC2822: """ The originator fields also provide the information required when replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of the message suggests that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field, replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the "From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the reply. """ It says "author", and "suggests". A mailing list is not the "author" of an email. And users should at all times have the freedom to decide who to send mails to (so who to reply to as well).
