mutt works great on both :-). So does gnus, or so I've heard.

Alright, not an easy task to convince Lookout users that other tools

Much of the time the envelope isn't present once delivery is complete.

Perhaps
headers_add = "Reply-To: ${if eq {$h_Reply-To:}{} {my_list@domain} {$h_Reply-To:}}"
will do it, but I'm not sure if it just adds the header or if it
creates a duplicate header with that data in it.
Reading the manual closer, I think this is what you want
headers_add = "Reply-To: ${if !eq {$h_Reply-To:}{} {my_list@domain} fail }"
or even
headers_add = "Reply-To: ${if !def:h_Reply-To: {my_list@domain} fail }"
OTOH this may be even more confusing to people if replying to some
messages go to the list and others go to the sender (his reply-to
addr).
