Only for lists that limit submissions to subscribers, which is only
about half of the lists I'm subscribed to, and only if one doesn't
include a Reply-To field with the preferred address.
Having private replies treated list messages hasn't been a big problem
for me. In a way, it's a feature. Most "private" replies to list
messages are really public replies because the list is CC'd. If I use
duplicate supression, e.g. a procmail formail rule, I only see the
message once.
In the rare case of a truly private reply, it's obvious from the To/CC
fields that the message was private.
