Could the mailing list be configured to insert/replace a "Reply-To:

Going off-list by accident is better than going on-list by
accident.

I should have expected that there would be some reason (or several) that
that is not done more widely; and I suppose that I can explicitly set
"Reply-To" to the list when responding to specific users who have a
long-enough history of sending responses to me that should go to the
list. The point that convinced me was the possibility that someone may
actually need a different receiving address than their From address and
Reply-To might not be redundant, causing its rewriting to leave no way
at all of contacting a message's author off-list. Consider the request
withdrawn.
