MUA doesnt give him ability to do the right thing (AIUI)[1]

Then those people should set Reply-To: <list>

To set your headers correctly, ie that means setting Reply-To: <list>

No, how about the mutt people go and get these non-standard headers
RFC tracked? Oh wait, they did try, but very similar headers
*already* are in use for UseNet. And how about getting mutt to *not*
assume things about lack of its non-standard headers.
1. namely the ability to consider list-replies to mails lacking
mutt's magic headers as requiring reply to both list and original
sender.
