I'm not the list admin, but I don't think this will happen.
It's _very_ bad practice for mailing lists to alter the reply-to: field
of an email. Adding elements to the mail envelope is the supported way
to indicate list reply address's and good mailers support those. (I
don't have a url handy, sorry).
