I don't know your MUA (NeoMail), but for many other MUAs (I am using
Mutt) there are various options to reply. List-Reply is one of them.
The idea behind is to not mangle the E-Mail Header (ie. changing the
Reply-To field) when send to the mailing list.

This is a matter discussed quite intensive.
I belong to the group who thinks that mangling of the Headers is a bad idea
and that the MUA is responsible to do it right ;-)

For the curious ones:
You may want to read

and you will find pages arguing for the opposite.

Best
