Impossible?   Bah.  In my mail(.app) I click on the e-mail address  
and get a pop-up where one option is "Reply to Sender" - easy.  Both  
options are available when reply-to is to the list, most definitely.

Reply-to [the list] is not at all harmful.  I'm a card carrying  
member of the Apache Software Foundation which is all about  
community, and this is how every list there runs.  I realize folks  
have strongly different opinions on this topic, and I've debated it  
before with vigorous opposition.  I'm merely stating my opinion and  
putting in my vote for reply-to the list.  To each their own :)
