For this purpose set ignore_list_reply_to. Maybe in combination with
sent- or folder-hook.

Make sure $reply_to is set to ask-yes in your .muttrc.
, [ mutt manual ]
| 6.3.171. reply_to
|
| Type: quadoption
| Default: ask-yes
|
| If set, Mutt will ask you if you want to use the address
| listed in the Reply-To: header field when replying to a
| message. If you answer no, it will use the address in the
| From: header field instead. This option is useful for
| reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To: header field
| to the list address and you want to send a private message
| to the author of a message.

You might also want to take a look at mutt´s mailing list features
(e.g. the lists and subscribe commands).

Replying to "From:" address
Very properly, mutt replies to the "Reply-To" address if one is set.
I belong to some mailing lists where "Reply-To" is set to the list.
This is OK if I wish to send to the sender and the list ("g") or to
the list only ("r") but not if I wish to reply to the sender only.
E.g. "Listen old chap, I don't want to be nasty but this sort of
drivel really makes you look a fool" and "Why don't the pair of us
get together at Luciano's tonight?" fall into that category.
Is there a mutt function that lest me reply to the "From" address
even when "Reply-To" is provided?
