I'm using Pine as well, but I've got it set up with a Role named dragaera and
have it set up to default to this role when reading mail on this list. The role
has a custom header rule so that the To: address is the list. If I want to
reply directly, I don't use the default role, instead I switch to one of my
others... It took a while to set it up for the large number of lists I'm on,
but it was worth it... Sometime when I am bored, I am going to make a script
to automate the addition of a mailing list to my system.
Incidentally, in my case, the majority of the lists I am on don't munge, and
at least one that used to changed it's defaults after being hit by too many
autoreply loops.
