Yes it does.

With the caveat that at present it doesn't allow multi-mailbox 
Reply-To's to be set. I intend to nag on the Pine list to try get 
that fixed.

Sure, I could do that.

But that's very configuration intensive. (Just as for the Reply-To 
solution). "I like to be copied on wide-replies" tends to be a global 
preference, it shouldn't need per-list configuration - just something 
you set once in your MUA and leave be (maybe on very rare occassions 
editing the header when composing an email, when it doesnt suit).

I'd still love a Foo-Copy-Me type header, much easier and clearer. 
But seems I wont get it. :(
