Use a mailer that supports it automatically, like mutt or (I believe)

It's not an officially standardized header, but many good mail readers
support it, and it's a godsend for mailing lists, where no other
solution has really proven to be good enough so far. Google should help.

Also, see http://www.debian.org/MailingLists/, "Code of conduct": the
default on Debian mailing lists is stated there as not to copy the
original poster.
