It looks like there should be a way to do this in Apple's Mail app.
There is manually at least, so I bet you could AppleScript it.

p0: the Apple Mail.app trick is Edit-> add reply header fill in with the beginner's mailing list

p1: there is also a cultural issue here as well,
since for some 'replying directly' to a person
who has asked a question, and then cc-ing the
list, makes sure that the 'response gets back'
to the original person. The idea is that this
is 'more personal' and does not require that the
asker 'search' for the response on the list with
a threaded mail application.

p2: One's mileage really varies on these things.
For some folks, it is easier to do a 'reply all'
so that both the persons in 'the thread' as well
as the list have a copy of the email. The upside
of which is that one doesn't inadvertantly misdirect
email between various mailing list when one selects
from their automated list of possible email addresses.
