The lynx-dev list policy is to force discussion onto the list by
setting the reply-to address.

Nobody does.

It's implied policy for any mailing list that people read the list for
a week or two or search the archives, even before asking a support 
question.  This means that they should also be in a position to read
any replies without requiring CC copies.

When they make a significant technical input which may well conflict
with policies or which may have been extensively discussed in the past,
it is almost essential that they join fully into discussion, as there
maybe repercussions on other current threads which are not obvious to
them.

Particularly for the lynx list, overriding the reply address is a nuisance,
and people making fast responses will soon forget to do so, with the
result that you will drop out of any discussions.
