One good way to "suggest" that people replying to your message 
should reply to the list rather than to the sender's address is 
to set the Reply-To yourself, as I have done for this message.

The point is, it must be up to _me_ (the originator of the 
message) what is in the Reply-To field, _not_ the list 
administrator ... so the list config is fine as it is, and 
individual users can use headers in the normal way to suggest 
to people replying to the message where the reply should go :)
