It does. I just never remember to use it, since all of the other mailing
lists I'm on have a Reply-to: field, and the one real active list I'm one
(average: 50 messages a day) only gets one or two misdirected replies every
few months (at best).
And this is not a high traffic mailing list (at least, in my opinion).
