I did not know that you could "make" the email client state "Reply List"
instead of the text on the "Reply All" button. I run Thunderbird 14.0.
I have to get use to using the "Reply List" instead of "Reply" to post a
message to the thread. It could be confusing to people, but does make
it easier to send a message to the poster, off list. I use to copy the
email address of the poster and then paste it to my "To:" section. This
will be easier to do that, but hopefully not too many people will forget
to use the "new" "Reply List" button instead of the "Reply" button.

Well done!
This new way fails safe. A message intended to be public may get
sent privately by mistake - a minor inconvenience that can easily be
remedied by sending the message again correctly. The old method
risked messages intended to be private being sent publicly - a
unfortunate consequence that simply cannot be undone.
Interestingly, there's an argument that list processors have no
business inserting a Reply-To header, which is instead the sole
domain of the message's author. RFC 2822 appears to require this:
'When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es)
to which the *author* of the message suggests that replies be sent"
(my emphasis). The author of a message, of course, is not the list.
