I'm quite happy with my UA:  Re:News goes to the list - I read
all serious lists behind a mail2news gateway (GMaNe) - Re:Mail
goes to the Reply-To (or to the From without a Reply-To), and
for exactly one person in the world preferring another mode of
netiquette (in other words you) I use Re:Both.

Works like a charm, unless I screw up and hit the wrong button.
Mailing lists trying to be "smart" about Reply-To are a pain,
it's user territory.
