OTOH, setting Reply-To to point to a mailing list is misuse of
Reply-To as well.[0]  (Even when it's done by users instead of the
list software, I say.)  Mail-Followup-To[1] is a solution designed
specifically for this problem.  Gnus should support it, but I'm not
sure whether it would necessitate a distinction between wide reply to
news and wide reply to mail.
