My opinion is the contrary, that forcing the Reply-To: in the headers 
actually takes away my choice of replying off-list or via the list.

When walking through hundreds of daily emails from various sources, you 
tend to reply quickly and a mistake can happen and a private reply ends 
up on a list because of the Reply-To: in the headers. That happened to 
me Monday morning when I was not awake enough and sent a private reply 
to this list by accident. I have over 10 years experience dealing with 
lists, I am not a newbie, but forcing the replies to the list this way 
just makes it too easy to make a mistake.

My vote goes to fixing the lists (i.e. not adding the "Reply-To:" in the 
headers).

90%? That's a lot of misconfigured lists.  ;)  ;)
