<sigh>  Another list.  The same argument. </sigh>

If you have the option, use a mailer that supports list-reply for your
mailing lists, and your regular Outlook or Thunderbird or Evolution for
the rest of your email.  I use mutt, which supports this.  (I've tried
to switch away from mutt.  I really have.  But all of the gui clients
just plain suck.  mutt just sucks less. <tm> )

As someone who has administered lots of mailing lists, I won't set it up
any other way.  I guess it's a religious thing.  My religion says never
set the Reply-To to the list.
