Do you hope that a request enclosed in a C comment will be acted upon? :)

More seriously, if your mailer is broken and doesn't have a
"reply-to-list" functionality (the two mailers I use, mutt and gnus,
do have this capability), then you should consider using another
one. In those software, "reply" replies to the original poster,
"reply-to-all" replies to everyone and "reply-to-list" replies to the
list only, without adding the original poster.

And no, I won't change the settings, I do not like setting "reply-to"
addresses to mailing-lists for many reasons which would be way
off-topic here. Note that this doesn't harm anyone as it is only a
gateway to the real Usenet group: noone is forced to use it and
everyone can setup another gateway with other settings.
