That's not going to happen.  Obscuring the original sender's reply-to is a 
bad idea, and making "private" replies go instead to the list is a bad idea.

Maybe in newer versions.  Not in what we're running.
FWIW, that's not the same.  A copy addressed directly to me goes into a 
different folder than one delivered by mailman, so if I only get the 
former, then following threads becomes impossible.  So I, for one, wouldn't 
use such a feature.  Of course, provided it's per-subscriber, I'm happy to 
let other people use it.

Last weekend we started preparing some new machines to which we'll be 
moving the OpenAFS web site and mailing lists.  When that happens, we'll 
have a newer Mailman which will have this and other cool features.
