Hi,

Sometimes I can see messages from the mailing list that have no Reply-To 
header. For example, this is the headers from a recent email from the ML:

As a result, when I press Reply, the reply is addressed to the original 
email sender instead of the mailing list, which is really easy to miss 
before sending the message. Is it possible to ensure that every email 
from the ML contains boost_at_[hidden] in its Reply-To header?

PS: I'm not a guru in email protocols, so if there is another more 
appropriate way of doing this then that would be fine with me.
