Thunderbird is now at v3.0.1, and it has the option to *Reply To List*.
Yes. And previous versions had a suse "hack" that modified "reply to all" to reply to the list instead.

It just seems cleaner to me to have the list software put in the "Reply-To" header.
Quick answer: it will not happen, don't bother to ask for it. It is intentional. >:-)
Detailed info: search the mail archive, faq, etc. This has been asked hundreds of times here.
- From the old list faq - retrieved in 2002:
Q2. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A2. We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a "Reply-To: suse-linux-e@suse.com" because it makes it more difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to. Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if you want you message to go to the list and not just to the original poster.
Also, please don't complain about this on the list, it has been discussed many, many, many times in the past already.

Q8. Why do my replies go to the original poster and not the list? A8. We do not "munge" the mail headers by inserting a "Reply-To: suse-security@suse.com" because it makes it more difficult subscribers to handle the mail the way they want to. Your mail client probably has a "reply" function as well as a "reply to all" or "reply to list" one; Please use the latter if you want you message to go to the list and not just to the original poster. Likewise, there is nothing stopping you from inserting your own Reply-To header with procmail.

There are several hacks to "solve" it on your side.
