| I changed it for myself a long time ago.  If you use procmail filters,

| 
| # Force the reply-to to point to the list.
| :0
|         * crossfire@ifi.uio.no
|         |formail -i "Reply-To: crossfire@ifi.uio.no"|$SENDMAIL -oi $MYREALADDR
| 
| So at this point, I don't care what the rest of the list does.  :)

nice idea but doesn't make sense...

Alturnative procmailrc entry  (filters mail and then falls through)

=======8<--------CUT HERE----------axes/crowbars permitted---------------
# Add a Reply-To field to incomming crossfire mail
:f
^TOcrossfire@ifi.uio.no
|formail -i "Reply-To: crossfire@ifi.uio.no"

NOTE:  `^TO'  is a special case RE in the procmailrc (see manpage)
