It's actually quite easy to do without munging Reply-To. If you have a mailer
that supports RFC 2369 - which became a standard in *1998* - then your mailer
has a "reply-to-mailing-list" button that fills the To field of the reply with
the value of the List-Post field of the original message.
For example, Claws does this and it works beautifully. Replies go to the list
and only to the list, and there are no duplicates.
