The point is simply that she is not lazy or stupid in not using the
"reply to list" since that isn't presented as an option to her.  It also
cannot be presumed that she would know or need to know, or be required
to know that she should install an extension to give her the functionality.

However...  It should simply be pointed out to her that this particular
list is configured to not munge headers.  Maybe point her to
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists or more specifically
http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Mailing_lists#Why_do_my_replies_go_to_the_original_poster_and_not_the_list.3F

in order to explain how things are done on this list.

It is not a question of right or wrong.  It is simply a question of how
things are done here.
