Not using microshaft brokenware. Use a real MUA, for example, Mutt, which
you tell what mailing lists you subscribe to, and then use the List-Reply-To
(L) when replying. It also generates Mail-Followup-To headers for the lists
you're subscribed to (and even lists you're not subscribed to, if you tell
Mutt about them.)
