Reply-To: munging (done by Yahoo, and which I assume is what you're
wishing for here) is bad. The proper answer to your problem is to
have two distinct commands for replying to mail: one which says "I
want to compose a private reply to the person who wrote this mail" and
another one which says "I want to compose a reply to this mail which
can be read by everyone who the first mail"; typically called
"followup", "group reply", "list reply" or "wide reply".

Virtually every mailing list manager that I know of can produce
archives in an automated fashion. I'd be extremely surprised if
Listar can not. There is no reason to go to Yahoo for this.
In fact, if I remember correctly Yahoo can not produce archives in
standard mailbox format--you have to use the web interface. This
means that, for instance, you can not simply download the archive for
a given time period and slurp it into you email client.

Why not?

Off course the single most annoying thing about Yahoo lists are the
advertisements at the bottom. It is just about possible to have one's
email client hide them, but since people are generally lazy and will
inevitably forget to snip them when quoting someone, you get to read
them anyway.
