RFC 2369 defines fields for mailing list messages, including exactly the
above purpose: the ‘List-Post’ field.

    The List-Post field describes the method for posting to the list.

    <URL:http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2369>

Those fields have been provided in every mailing list message I've seen
for the last *ten years*. That way, you can keep on using the existing
“reply to author”, “reply to list”, and “reply to all” operations that
most MUAs have provided for many years.
