You're absolutely right about solving it at the root, but you're sadly mistaken about where the root is.
An email client that treats email headers correctly will send a reply to a list message to the list.
They're available (and have been mentioned here), and they run on your SuSE system. At least one is probably already installed on it. If you insist on using a broken or nonstandard client, don't complain to the list admins about how difficult things are for you.
I think you're overlooking a deeper root. No smaller a problem than list posts not getting sent where intended or technical violation of 2833 (which is not law) is the recurring pollution from threads about the subject. The most effective overall fix would be munging, assuming the list software could not be changed to accommodate a user preference on the issue. Of the many lists I'm on, the complaints about "bad" reply behavior come almost exclusively on lists that do not munge. And, this one is the one where they recur most vehemently and frequently. FWIW, the primary user help list for the most popular Linux distro was munging when I was last subscribed there. -- "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up."
