I agree that the list's reply-to should default to the list rather
than the user.  I think with really high volume lists, it is often
changed to the original sender.  It would have to be controled by the
list administrator.

What I do in Mutt is add the list name to a lists variable and then I
can do a list-reply (Shift-L) to force the single message to be
addressed to the list rather than the original user.  I know you're
using Evolution and I don't know if it has an easy to do this without
having to do a group-reply or reply to all recips.  The disadvantage
of replying to everyone is often the recipient will end up with two
duplicate messages; 1 to himself and the other to the list.  I love
that list-reply function in Mutt.  Dunno if any other mailers have
that or not.
