While replying, the Reply-to field is set. I use the addressbook to set
the address as well as the Fcc. So you can use an address "pine" which can
be made to expand to "Pine Discussion Forum
<[email-masked]>". If you are already doing this, then this is
a null question.

Now if you want it automated to that extent, you could *maybe* use
procmail to mangle a Reply-to header from the Mailing-List header.

the times i send the message to a person instead to a list. :)
