3.4. List-Post

   The List-Post field describes the method for posting to the list.
   This is typically the address of the list, but MAY be a moderator, or
   potentially some other form of submission. For the special case of a
   list that does not allow posting (e.g., an announcements list), the
   List-Post field may contain the special value "NO".

   Examples:

     List-Post: <mailto:list at host.com>
     List-Post: <mailto:moderator at host.com> (Postings are Moderated)
     List-Post: <mailto:moderator at host.com?subject=list%20posting>
     List-Post: NO (posting not allowed on this list)

=========
How is this related to the mail clients? It seems to be about sending
to the list, not from.
Isn't it Reply-To that should be used by the list software?
