As spc already cited (sp?) RFC 822 4.4.3 (paralell while I answered),
he missed out the 'Note' you're going on. Just to put up the question
who is the originator. Well, the originator is maybe the person who
did send the mail ... or is it Majordomo ? Since Majordomo is not only
a forwarding thing, but rather processing the mail and generating a
new one. Anyway, I think this is advocates talk. Even if I'd agree to
set the prior sender to be the originator (*1), The forwarding/list
service should provide the service of setting reply-to as a courtsy
to all te other users - if the 'originator' forgot to do so. Just as
an usage of the Best-Possible-Result rule.

*1 - just to come up with the question if, in this case, if the first
sender is the originator, then, why are there different originators
for all follow up replys ? They are just 'some black boxes' processing
the information and generating new mails :))
