I like mutt's "reply to list" option - "L". When you've told mutt about
your mailing lists, this feature will do the right thing with the
replies.

The paradigm I'm used to is that a "reply" goes to only one person, and
a "group reply" or mutt's "reply to list" will reply to many people.
With the Reply-to set to back to the list, that breaks the paradigm, and
increases the changes that private mail will be sent out to everyone by
accident.
