If you want to be cc'ed on replies to your messages, I'd suggest you set
Mail-Followup-To: to the list address plus your own address. If you
don't want to be cc'ed, set Mail-Followup-To: to the list address alone.

Most people reserve Reply-To: for the address to which they want private
replies to go.
