IMHO, this should be up to the recipient rather than the sender. I sure
don't want my incoming list mail having it's return address munged, as
it can cause me to accidentally send messages intended for one recipient
to a public list.

At the same time, at least you've made it conditional (even if it is,
IMHO, the wrong way!) So many lists I'm on just force it on everyone :(
