Adding a reply-to is also advised against but is somewhat 50/50 in practical use. Clients are suggested to use their reply-to-all > feature instead.

Reply ALL also results in 2 mails being sent instead of one but of course this is usually not a problem since one is going direct and the other is going through vger, but still... it's kind of wasteful to resources and i dont see any harm in Reply-to being sent in the header. Proftpd's mailing list seems to work fine with it. Is your position against it just due to client incompatibility?
