Well, RFC 2822 3.6.2 says:

Here it is said that the Reply-To: header is meant to be where the
author suggests that replies be sent. Author means the one that wrote
the text, that is, the original sender. So RFC 2822 itself clearly
says who is the one to set this header. Mailing list software should not
interfere with the author's setting of a Reply-To: header, by
overwriting it or some such.
