I feed all my mailing list subscriptions to local news groups, and part
of that is to feed all incoming list emails through a python script.

I just recently added the feature you're looking for, so maybe this is
useful. Here's a snippet that should work as a self-contained script on
stdin and stdout:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import email, sys
m = email.message_from_file(sys.stdin)
# Remove Reply-To if it is to the list
if m.has_key("Reply-To") and m.has_key("List-Post"):
    listpost = m['List-Post'].replace("mailto:";, "")
    if m['Reply-To'].find(listpost) != -1:
        del m['Reply-To']
print m
