Anarky is using mozilla's MUA.  It has reply-to and reply to all.  You must 
practice discipline and edit the recipients before sending.  I use this 
client at work (use Windows half the time and refuse to use Outlook).

The non-Unix oriented MUAs do not have the concept of a mailing list.  That 
would confuse too many users.

I still believe that reply-to munging is not the right solution.  However 
having used the tools I now understand their complaints.
