Well, in a near-perfect world you could set default behavior for replies
on a per list basis.
For instance PLUG-discuss might get reply-to-list,
we-like-our-privacy-thank-you-very-much list might get reply-to-author and
PLUG-announce might get reply-to-list-administrator.
In a nearer-to-perfect world the list would be able to describe a default
in the headers, so each person doesn't have to go configure each list in
every mail client they use.
Then 'r' or whatever would get 'configured reply' and right-click would
bring up the full list of available options.
I think mutt can hit the near-perfect world. I don't know about other
MUAs.

That's what I suggest unless we can determine that the world of MUAs has
added the conveinience features to make per list replies configurable.
