No. Reply-To set to the list is evil (and for God's sake actually almost
no list I know of uses it).

It is up to the reader if he wants to reply to the list or the the
single poster. So you should have two buttons there: one for "reply"
which replies to the sender of the mail (which is the original sender
and not the maillist-mgr-software) and one for "list-reply" (if the mail
comes from a mailing list).

Yes. Just choose a good MUA which supports you in doing your job.

Yes. And it should be clear that the user at the end gets the choice
(and not some overly-clever maillist admin in between interferes ....).
