The following comes from Ben Scott in reply to a message from Bruce Dawson for sometime before 10 December, 2006.

 Okay, I can't find my past procmailrc files for some reason.

 But I'm pretty sure this will work:

<verbatim>
# add/override Reply-To for list mail
:0 fhw
* ^List-Id: .*<gnhlug-discuss.mail.gnhlug.org>
| formail -i "Reply-To: gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org"
</verbatim>

The "f" tells procmail the recipe is a non-delivering filter.  The
"h" means only check the header, and the "w" means check the exit
status of formail in case things go bang.  The "-i" switch to formail
means "add this header, renaming any existing header if needed".  So
any existing "Reply-To" should become "Old-Reply-To".

I got the idea to add the "hw" flags from the results of a Google
search just now; apparently many others have wanted this too.  Which
is why I think this will work; other people have posted the same
thing.
