His intent is to receive direct replies to his posts. I don't see how
his choice of mail client has any impact on that.

Not really. The OP's choice of mail client isn't going to change what
happens when people reply to his postings. He wants "reply-to" to
contain his address as well as the list address so that he gets a
direct response and doesn't have to bother to check the mailing list
for replies.
