What actually happens with "reply" depends on a few things. If the mail client involved is Thunderbird, it doesn't behave as expected. See <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1309486>. In short, in recent T'bird if the message has a List-Post: header and T'bird offers a "Reply List" button, "Reply" will ignore Reply-To: if it's the list address and reply to the From:. In more recent T'bird, you can restore the expected behavior be setting mail.override_list_reply_to False in the config editor (see <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1392371>), but this has to be done by every list member that uses T'bird.

Oh for $&#* sake.  I'm not going to get into the pros / cons of either way.

I tried following the bugs to discern the actual behavior changes that mail.override_list_reply_to changes. But I was unable to make heads or tale of what it does. Further, my tests didn't shed any light on things.

Will someone please enlighten me on how mail.override_list_reply_to behaves when set to true (the default) vs false?

I couldn't keep track of the previous behavior and current behavior through all of the things that I read.
