Well this is a bit of a holy war. :-) 

But I really don't think there is a single solution.  Majordomo tried to
fix this with an option that allowed each subscriber to make a personal
choice.  Unfortunately MailMan does not offer such an option AFAICS.

As a user of Evolution I right click the message and get the choice for
a non-list message I just get a "Reply To Sender" or a "Replay to All"
but for a list message I also get a "Reply to List" option.  

On one list I subscribe to they had screwed up the RFC 2369 headers such
that the "Reply to List" generated a bad address for the list. They (The
Administrators) claimed that the headers were correct.  Rather than
argue the toss with them I added a procmail recipe to correct the munged
header.

It should be pretty trivial to do the same to add a Reply-To: if you
really want.

Tom.
