Not quite. As opposed to other mailing list managers Mailman _does the right 
thing_ i.e. not overriding the Reply-To header that your MUA set (but adding 
the list address to the header).

A quick usefull example: I am subscribed to a list, I post an urgent issue but 
I want the reply to go to some other email address (that uses an SMS gateway 
so I'll receive the reply on my cellphone). The fact that the SMS service I 
use is not free I do not want to receive all the list traffic, but only the 
part that covers my issue. If I want to do this I set the Reply-To header to 
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and wait...

It's actually a matter of choice: for the initial poster - if he wants to set 
the Reply-To header or not and to you (the one who reply) - if you want to 
keep his personal email address as a recipient or not. But again: Mailman 
does the _right thing_.
