No, No, No, and No! Don't do that! If you do that, how will you ever
know who wrote the message? And suppose you (at some point in time)
want to talk to them in private? (not everyone puts their name at the
end of a message, and many people do not put their email at the end of
a message (duh! it's in the From: header :-))).
In the worst-case scenario you can include (or butcher) a Reply-To:
header so that replying goes to the list by default. Before you do
that, however, read
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
and consider upgrading to a mailer that comprehends mailing lists.
The problem is an end-user tool (MUA) problem, not a MTA problem.
