This is also why Mutt has a built in feature to _ignore_ Reply-To when it matches the list address.
Well, look at that ($ignore_list_reply_to).
Some disagree strongly, but this is probably the "classic" post about the subject: https://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-harmful.html
I agree with that, myself -- lists shouldn't hack up Reply-To:. Especially because, as that post says, that subverts the intent of Reply-To:, and so breaks things.
That post doesn't even mention things like Mutt's 'L' <list-reply>, which makes this even easier. Thunderbird also has that command, in a handy button "Reply List". Probably some other mail readers have it too.
To the original poster, Ranjan Maitra: if you're willing to do things like change key bindings per message, then you can get the behavior you want whether or not the list does the Reply-To: hack. So you don't need the hack.
