[Mailman-Users] How to allow Poster to change default reply to from the list to the poster

I have a mailing list and the default if a recipient chooses reply or
reply-to-all in their mail client is for the reply to go to the list. (This
is great for 99.9% of the time and exactly what I want). However in certain
situations I’d like to be able to send to the list but change the default
behavior when someone chooses reply or reply-to-all to reply only to the
original poster.
Is that possible?
Let give you an exact example to clear it up. I have a mailing list for
trivia enthusiasts and generally speaking I want people to be able to
discuss topics and everyone on the list to see the replies. Everyone once
in a while a person on the list makes up a trivia quiz and they want users
to reply with the answers only to the creator of the quiz… Inevitably
everyone once in a while someone clicks “reply” and replies with their
answers to the list instead of manually typing in the quiz creator’s actual
email address.
Is there a way that the quiz creator/poster (a member of the mailing list)
could send certain messages that alters the reply-to address from the
default of replying to the list, to reply to them directly instead?
Hopefully I explained that well. J
