I know that document, but it does not take into account
the following arguments:
	All reasonable email clients have a list-reply options
	List-Post headers work with modern mailinglist managers like Mailman. 
	Additionally there is Mail-Follow-up to.

KMail's list-reply option is a bit suboptimal AFAIK, 
because it cannot detect mailinglists in normal folders
which do not have a List-Post: header.
Recognising List-Post: header is new, I don't know since
what version.

If people using KMail still have a technical problem with it
we should file a wish and help fixing it. 
(Okay this based on a personal observation 
that many group replies from mailinglist I get 
come from KMail users, which obviosuly hit group reply. 
Like I did with this email.  
And the only strong requests for adding reply-to: headers 
on mailinglists I run come from lists where many KMail users are on.) :)

Seriously, I don't see the arguments rebutted,
but if this makes the majority happy, I'll add such a header.
Bo, I'll count your voice for adding that header.
