Ok, on that note...  mutt has the following configuration options:

   reply_to
      If set, Mutt will ask you if you want to use the address listed in the
      Reply-To: header field when replying to a message.  If you answer no,
      it will use the address in the From: header field instead.  This
      option is useful for reading a mailing list that sets the Reply-To:
      header field to the list address and you want to send a private
      message to the author of a message.

   ignore_list_reply_to:
      Affects the behaviour of the reply function when replying to messages
      from mailing lists.  When set, if the ``Reply-To:'' field is set to
      the same value as the ``To:'' field, Mutt assumes that the ``Reply-
      To:'' field was set by the mailing list to automate responses to the
      list, and will ignore this field.  To direct a response to the mailing
      list when this option is set, use the list-reply function; group-reply
      will reply to both the sender and the list.

You may also want to look at section 3.5 of the mutt manual for the
documentation on the "folder-hook" command, which allows you to set
variables based on the folder you are reading.
