I would prefer to see the mutt functionality implemented, where you indicate
which email addresses are mailing lists, then use the "Reply to Mailing
List" button instead of simply "Reply" when you want the mail to go to the
list.  It works well, and doesn't require an additional set of questions to
work.  

I'll try to give a go at implementing this sometime later this week or early
next.
