No, Reply-to= both,respect will do that.

Reply-to= list, ignore

Here is the piece from the 1.8d 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.
