I think there is a better solution.  Perhaps reply-to is ok left the way
the user sets it.

Instead, maybe the list should set the "from" address as being the list,
instead of the OP.

Then, people who set reply-to's will get them to their correct account,
and otherwise, replies will go to the list.

Coupled with this, I think the default evolution action when
encountering a list should be as follows:
"reply" button replies to the "X-BeenThere" or "List-Id" or "List-Post",
whichever is the correct one /regardless/ of reply-to.

"reply to sender" (an extra button when one of the above headers is
encountered) sends either to the OP's "reply-to" address, unless they
haven't specified one, in which case it will send to the OP's "from"
address.

But unless otherwise specified, "reply" for a list, should definitely go
to the list.
