So far not so good, Google is not being to helpful, I need to rethink my search terms or hit mail client sites direct and read. I'll let you know though.
I found this list, but it's from 1998 and I think they are old proprietary software: http://www.nisto.com/listspec/#APPLICATION-SUPPORT
Looking at some client sites to start us off, I see:
Mozilla has a bug open about this at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29041
KMail seems to have "Mailing list aware" folders, but I can't understand whether it supports these RFCs from the manual. If you know one way or the other, please send a correction to the manual!
Evolution has buggy support for it (but should work with ALUG main).
Balsa doesn't (FAQ reads like "the reply-to situation" is not anything they need to help fix and all the fault of bad list admins).
GNUMail should have it in next version, as I said.
mutt currently has no support for it!

Hmm, not to encouraging so far then. There is a common problem with mailing list replies, and the 'easy' solution for the client with current software is not the ideal way of doing things (i.e. reply-to munging). An RFC (or two) has been raised, but software support is not forthcoming that quickly - frustrating to say the least! Sounds like configuring my Mutt may be the best solution for now - I'll keep hunting though.
