Yes, that's the reasoning behind why we don't use the Reply-To header.

You can either 'reply to all', or if your email client supports it, do
'reply to list'.  For Thunderbird, there should be an extension that
allows you to reply to list.  For Evolution, it's just as easy as
Ctrl-L.  Not sure about KMail and other email clients...
