The lack of a modified Reply-to is not generating a single duplicate

mail. Humans using Reply-to-list do not generate duplicate mails.

Humans replying directly also don't generate dupes. Only humans using

Reply-to-all generate duplicate mails. I suppose most humans, who do

the latter, do so to work around their mail clients lack of a proper

List-reply-to, some may also do it deliberatly. Anyway, the mail

client and the human, who uses reply-to-all deliberatly, are all

independent from the server-side.
And then, all of this duplicate issue is just a small blemish, whereas

sending something private to the list, because the list software

messed with the Reply-To-Header can be a huge embarrassment. And

sending private stuff to the list because of Reply-to-munging *does*

happen all the time, even on Windows-user lists.
Ciao
