Is it possible to configure Mailman to set the Reply-To header of a message depending on whether the sender is subscribed to the mailing list?

Rationale:

For an open mailing list set up to receive bug reports from users, I would like to set

- Reply-To = sender, mailing-list  if the sender is not a subscriber
- Reply-To = mailing-list  if the sender is a subscriber

I've had a complaint from one of my collaborators that he couldn't filter messages correctly when they were sent directly to him rather than just to the list. That's okay, and I like to keep most traffic on the list rather than hide it in order to publicly record the conversation. At the same time, replying just to the list when I can't be sure that the sender will get my reply is not the right strategy, and since switching on the Reply-To setting, I've made that mistake many times.

Hence the desire to have the above option.

Thanks for your consideration.

PS.: The true problem happens on the client side, where replies that go to the list and the user aren't filtered correctly. I would consider telling people to fix that rather than to set Reply-To if the above can't be done.
