You need to decide which is the lesser of these evils:

* pictures are posted to list
* novice/careless users reply to poster when they intended to reply to
  the list.

Even better is the new * Attachments= keyword if you are on a new enough
flavor of Listserv(r).

>From the list owners manual:

+--------------------------------------------------------------+
| Reply-To= List|Sender|Both|None|net-address,[Respect|Ignore] |
+--------------------------------------------------------------+

Indicates whether the "Reply-to:" tag supplied by the sender of the mail
file is to be preserved or discarded (if present), and, if discarded or
omitted, what should be placed in the new "Reply- to:" generated by the
server. The default value is "Reply-To= List,Respect".

Note that some mailing systems are unable to process a "Reply-To:" field
with multiple addresses correctly and may therefore disregard the
Reply-to=
Both option and treat it as Reply-to= List.

The two parameters are specified as follows:

First parameter:
    List        Replies are directed to the list address.
    Sender      Replies are directed to the original sender.
    Both        Reply to both the original sender and to the list
                (see note regarding this above)
    None        No Reply-to: header is generated unless ",Respect"
                is specified and a Reply-to: header is present in
                the original posting, in which case replies are
                directed to wherever the Reply-To: tag points.
   net-address  Replies are directed to the specified internet
                address

Second parameter:
    Respect     The original "Reply-to:" tag on the posting, if any,
                is kept. If no valid Reply-To: tag exists in the
                posting, the value defined in the first parameter of
                this keyword is used.
    Ignore      The original "Reply-to:" tag on the posting, if any,
                is ignored and discarded, and the value defined in
                the first parameter of this keyword is used instead.
                If Reply-To= None,Ignore, then a Reply-to: tag will
                never be generated by LISTSERV.
