Sadly, it's not. Most mailing lists send the reply to the original
poster, not the list. There's a long argument for this behavior, that
I disagree with: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
I also think the RFCs are, at the very least, open to interpretation.
In fact, I think the RFCs suggest reply-to should go to the list. It
does much more to encourage the community spirit of a list.
I apologize in advance for contributing to an off-topic discussion.
