This is by design.

Any decent mail user agent will have a "reply to all" feature, and the
best have a "reply to list" option too.  Having the mailing list
override a reply-to header is antisocial.  See
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html for the details.

(Decent mail user agents also insert linebreaks too, btw :) )
