In addition to the problem I explained in my previous message (that such
instructions are often disregarded), the appropriate reply address depends
on which list the user is reading.  Replies to messages on
ubuntu-devel-discuss should be directed back to that list only, rather than
to ubuntu-devel.  This means that the reply instructions can't be set by the
sender, but must be added by the mailing list, something which is often
controversial.
