Well, fix that. Use maildrop or procmail or whatever else to sort your list
mail into separate folders. It takes two minutes and buys you more
efficiency.

Reply-To: is intended to tell others "if you want to send a (private) reply to
me, use this address instead of the one in my From: header". There's various
reasons for it.
Mail-Followup-To: tells people where they should send a followup message --
and can contain multiple addresses, so it can be used to /automatically/ say
"please cc: me on list replies, because I'm not a subscriber" or "please reply
only to the list, because I'm a list member and don't want extra copies of
list messages".

See http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html and
http://cr.yp.to/proto/replyto.html ; this is a really old topic.
