This is (holy|flame)-war ground...
Check out the first two google hits on: reply-to munging:
"Reply-To" Munging Considered Harmful http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
MetaSystema.Net: Reply-To Munging Considered Useful http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml
My main personal experience with nastiness caused by either method is with our neighborhood e-mail list: When I first brought the list up, some new users were not familiar with the munging feature and send private replies to the list by mistake (simply by hitting reply). Reply-to munging has been disabled ever since...
...and google ranks the "considered harmful" page above the "useful" page, so it must be bad. :-)
