Interesting debate. To bring this into discussion of RCD, just which of
the many list headers does Roundcube support? See
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2369.txt I note that this email uses
the List-Id header to identify the list. On gmail's web client, gmail
does not detect this and a reply goes to the sender. In thunderbird, I
have the option to reply-list, reply-all, or simply reply.
Also, for anyone reading the debate, I would point out that Marc
Merlin's assertion: ", RFC 2822, which states "When the "Reply-To:"
field is present, it indicates the mailbox(es) to which the author of
the message suggests that replies be sent." (notice/author/, and
not/list software/)" is no longer correct. Time marches on, and in
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5321.txt we have in section 3.9.2
/When a list constrains its processing to the
very limited set of modifications and actions described here, it is
attempting to emulate an MTA; such lists can be treated as a
continuation in email transit.
There exist mailing lists that perform additional, sometimes
extensive, modifications to a message and its envelope. Such mailing
lists need to be viewed as full MUAs, which accept a delivery and
post a new message./
As this particular list appends a signature to the content of each
message it sends, it could be argued that it is acting as an MUA and
posting a new message, and hence is the author of that message.
RFC 5589 provides a good summary of current practices:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5598.txt
Note, this rfc is Informational, so it is not setting any standards.

hello
I am wondering why the reply address is not the d...@list if I write to
the list, as I know it from other lists... is this not an admin setting
of the mail list admin?
this would help a lot to make open discussions.

wars are waging over this since ages:
