No. If the List-* headers are present, reply-to-list will work in any 
cirumstances. If they are not there, (e.g. linux-il) there is a workaround 
which is kmail-specific: put them all in one folder and define a list address 
for the folder. This is the only kmail-specific thing I mentioned.

Well in all the Gentoo lists fex., which use ezmlm, you have this:
List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
List-Id: Gentoo Linux mail <gentoo-dev.gentoo.org>

This is not a kmail-specific header, AFAICS.
