Technically this is a solved problem. The solution is called
Mail-Followup-To[1]. Due to the popularity of the Mutt, Gnus, KMail and
Icedove MUAs among Debian users this header is honoured in many cases.
(Those should make up at least half of the list traffic.) A quick grep
on my mailbox tells me that about one fifth of the posts already carry a
Mail-Followup-To. Seems like there is some still room for improvement
for those crying "do not CC".
To generate Mail-Followup-To see:
* Mutt: http://www.mutt.org/doc/manual/manual-4.html#ss4.8
* Gnus: http://gnus.org/manual/gnus_28.html
* Icedove: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Help_Documentation:Mail-Followup-To_and_Mail-Reply-To#Configure_Thunderbird
Hope this helps.

With some MUAs it is difficult not to send mail in HTML-only. Is that an
excuse to do so? I'd say no. So if you deliberately choose the pain of
correctly sending mail with GMail, that's hardly my problem, right?
