If you run mutt you just define the email address as a list you are
subscribed to and then you hit "L" to reply-to-list.  Changing the
behavior of the receiving MUA is a bad idea if you ask me.  But Mutt
gives you the option to ignore the "reply_to" headers.  When I hit "r"
to reply it asks me..."Reply to <mailing list>?"  I can say "n" and then
it replies to sender.  Too bad other MUAs lack some of these features...
