Good mail clients would have a command to reply to the list instead
of to the sender without relying on the "Reply To" field (which
should not be the list address, but the sender). For example, with
mutt you mention which lists you subscribe in the configuration file
and you have the choice of replying to the sender (R) or replying to the
list (L).

I did not look at your mail client program yet, but I think you should
consider adding this feature to it.
