Well, there are various options for this:

.. you manually edit the headers after hitting the group-reply button,

.. you use an MUA that supports replying to mailing lists (e. g. Mutt
  does -- and Mutt's default behaviour is much like pine, so you
  shouldn't have much troubles using it),

.. procmail has already been mentioned,

.. i use a mail -> news gateway that sets the reply-to address
  accordingly (and adds a "followup-to: poster" so nobody would
  followup into the local newsgroup).

In either case, i agree with Jason that this should not be done at the
mailing list gateway.  Many other mailing lists have been discussing
this before, and virtually all agree that it's a bad idea.
