For me, replying to the list isnt' a major problem. But I'd also like to automatically set my Reply-to field for outgoing mail to the list's address as well. As far as I know, this isn't something that procmail can do (as it handles only incoming mail), correct? A simple matter to add a 'Reply-To:' header on your incoming mail originating from opensuse* to accomplish your desire. There is no necessity to fool with outgoing mail. This also abides by the RFC as it will only affect *your* submissions. This doesn't make sense. Please read my question again.
One way or the other, KMail can edit (add, remove or modify) headers on incoming and outgoing mail based on any criteria that the filtering system allows.
It can also pass mail through an external program.
Deficient mail clients (MUAs) are the root of this whole recurring "debate." Use quality (free) software and take control over your email-based interactions while not foisting on others behaviors that contravene the standards.
Thanks.

Randall, thanks for the tip. I've read this already many times on this list. I just don't think I should have to change my MUA, or use a particular client separately for this list. I'm on about thirty lists; what if they all required different clients? Plus, I don't buy the arguments of the "correct" camp. Kmail might be a fine email client, but for me it's largely a matter of principle. Secondly, don't assume self-interest. After quite a bit of (needless but enforced) diddling with Tbird, I have a client which functions with the current list configuration well enough for now (and, I'm hoping, doesn't mess up my communications with any of the other lists). So as a practical matter I, personally, don't need to change clients. I'm arguing, not for myself, but for the benefit of others on this and similarly configured lists, now and in future.
