If someone wants to continue discussing whether some change is needed, I
think these are required reading before doing so:

"Reply-To" Munging Considered Harmful
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

Reply-To Munging Considered Useful
http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html

"Reply-To" Munging Still Considered Harmful. Really.
http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html

I'll have to read them myself before saying what my opinion is. FWIW,
the last time when I read them, in the context of some other list, my
conclusion was against Reply-To munging, but I don't know if the
situation is somehow different with pulseaudio-discuss.
