A lot of email clients include 'Reply to List' which sounds like what
you want.  I don't know if Gmail includes this.  I know Gmail has 'Reply
to All' which would also work.

Reply-to munging (e.g. changing the Reply-to: field of an email) is
generally a bad idea because it can cause inadvertent replies going back
to the mailing list when they should have gone to the person who sent
the email.  And it is more difficult to email the person directly if the
reply-to is set, rather than using reply to all, as was mentioned.

For more info, Google has lots of hits on reply-to munging, and I think
it's even been covered on this list before.
