You still don't get it, do you? Again, this is not a bug, but behavior  
that is mandated by RFC-2822:

"The originator fields also provide the information required when  
replying to a message.  When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it  
indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of the message suggests  
that replies be sent.  In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field,  
replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the  
"From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the  
reply."

In this case, the operator of the mailing list (the originator of  
mailing list messages) has decided not to munge the reply field. If  
you don't like that, your should complain to the people operating the  
mailing list.
