But if you're not put off... you're right that it doesn't require
much. If you're using exim (which is the default MTA with Debian),
create a file ~/.forward containing the following (note that the line 
"# Exim filter" must be the first line of the file):

# Exim filter

if $header_List-Id: contains "debian-user" and $header_Reply-To: does not contain 
"debian-user"
then
    pipe "/home/yourusername/bin/du-add-reply-to"
        seen finish
endif   

and a file (with execute permissions) ~/bin/du-add-reply-to containing
the following:

#!/bin/bash

sed -e '/^From: /a\
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
' 2>/dev/null | /usr/sbin/exim -bm yourusername > /dev/null 2>&1

Nits can be picked with this :-) but it works for me (TM).
