Until a few months ago, this would not have been true for any of my list 
posts. 'From' contained the email address that sent and received list traffic 
address. The only place to record my personal email address is in the 
Reply-To header. 

More widely, my current mailbox of this list contains 2112 messages, 189 of 
them contain a Reply-To header. It looks like I am not the only one to use 
this feature.

Those in favor of the current list configuration have the same reason for 
amusement that your mail reader's "reply to all" button is not the one that 
you would click on by default. Shouldnt this the default action for replying 
to an email, even for someane who wasnt subscribed to any lists?
