I use the list-reply function mainly if, for example, a question from someone comes to a private mailinglist and my reply is intended as list-internal (thus, I also change the subject line) or if I know the sender of a message is on that list anyway. Otherwise, I almost always use mutt's group-reply function, which replies to the sender *and* the mailing list, additionally setting the Mail-Followup-To: header to the list and the receiver. Since I actually don't want to get doubled messages, I (if possible) configure the mailing list software to not send me duplicates. That way, I stay on top of the discussion as replies go to my main inbox and is not automatically put into the mailing list folder without receiving every message x times.
