It sure does.  If you add via procmail a 'Reply-To: <list-address>'
header to incoming list mail, when you reply to it, it will
automagically take the list address.  What is there to not understand?

:0:
* ^X-Mailinglist:.*opensuse|\
  ^TO_.*opensuse@
! $FORMAIL -i "Reply-To: opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx"
$MAILDIR/opensuse


this will add the header "Reply-To: opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx" to all
opensuse list mail.  When you decide to post an answer or comment to an
opensuse posting, "reply" will select opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx address.

is more explanation necessary?
