Oh, on that I agree.

There are draft RFCs to specify these things better, eg seperating 
the concept of 'Reply-to' into one policy for list related replies 
and another for personal, mutt supports these drafts already[1], but 
there hasnt been much apparent movement in these drafts becoming 
standards track. (primarily because there are already similar headers 
defined and RFC standards tracked for NNTP readers/posters).

1. which can be annoying when dealing with mutt users.
