And I've seen lots that don't.  There is really no standard in this area.

My preference would be to have a reply-to: header pointing to the list.  Others
would strongly disagree.  And what do you do if the post already has a reply-to
when it hits the list (several options exist).

The only fool-proof way to identify list traffic is to subscribe using a
list-specific address for yourself.  My software allows "sub-addresses" so I
can subscribe as <mjstraw+thinkpad@grove.iup.edu> and then filter on the
envelope to: address.  Unfortunately, some automated list management software
treats the subaddress as significant and requires that I subscribe via the list
owner :-(
