In short, that solution is worse than the problem:

http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

Much better is the "mailing-list" header which is already there; a good
mail program will already have "followup to list" in addition to
"reply".


Really, the current situation isn't that bad. Let's not make it worse.
