Two things on the respect:

1) You don't really need reply-to headers. If your client is smart 
enough it should have a *reply to list* option which would use the 
*List-post* header.

2) Mailman has a option so that if a mail is replied to you and CC to 
the list, you won't get a copy from the mailling list. Only the mail 
that was directly sent to you.
