Why no reply-to header?

What on earth is 'reply to list'?  An RFC compliant MUA is supposed to 
have two options; one that replies only to the sender or the address 
specified in the Mail-followup-to: header if present, and one that 
retains the list of Cc'd addresses.

I've seen a few people on this very list that set their own 
Mail-followup-to: header so that replies go to the list instead of to 
them, and being Cc'd to the list.  That is what you are supposed to do 
to achieve this result.
