It depends on the settings of the mailinglist. If the mailinglist program
is configured to NOT alter or SET the "reply-to" header, the reply will go
to the original sender. This is the default setting for a mailinglist of
the "announce" type.

Mailing lists like TBUDL are "discussion" lists, they are configured to
re-write any reply-to header to the list-address. When you use the reply
function, the address from the reply-to header is used.

If I were you, I'd talk to the list owner of the list in question. If it is
a discussion list, he/she should really configure the list to set the
reply-to header to the list address.
