It is technically possible but violates an RFC which I don't find right now that
states that a reply-to is not to be overwritten.
The basic reason that reply-to-sender is set as default instead of reply-to-list
is that it is much less embarrassing to send a message accidentally to a list
which was intended to be sent to one user, instead of the other way round.
