Okay, I *have* found how to configure the "list-reply" feature. But
you have to tell it in advance which addresses are mailing lists. And it
still honors Reply-To:  unless I set ignore_list_reply_to. There
is a patch for RFC 2369 support, but it's not there by default. I should
go look at it and see why it isn't in Debian.

Ultimately, all I want is a consistent, automatic way, no matter which
mailbox I'm in and no matter how badly mangled the mail is, for me to
be able to hit one key for "reply to everybody" and one key to "reply
only to the sender". From any mail client without having to futz with
options to no end. Is this too much to ask?
