The Reply-To header field will do what you want.  It is specifically
designed to indicate a list of addresses for responses (RFC 2822):

   When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it
   indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of the message suggests
   that replies be sent.

So, in your case, setting
  Reply-To: [email protected], [email protected]
would have indicated your stated preference.

This has been discussed in detail some months ago on the ietf-822 list.

For an older description of the field and its uses, see RFC 822 section
4.4.3, and note that a mailing list is "text message teleconferencing".
