evolution does the same, so I do the same editing. The list posts
contain:

List-Post: <mailto:opensuse@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
List-Help: <mailto:opensuse+help@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
List-Subscribe:  <mailto:opensuse+subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
List-Unsubscribe:  <mailto:opensuse+unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
List-Owner: <mailto:opensuse+owner@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

But not all mailers know what to do with this. Do any mail readers use
these for reply purposes? If not, they are only using the From: field,
which makes sense. The Cc to the list must be from the To: field in the
message. I guess the list management software would have to put an
envelope around the message to change this behavior.
