I think you'll find the list sets the "reply to" to the list and reply to overrides the originating address. So, when you hit reply all, Thunderbird only sees the list address and not the originator.

I realize that is what happening. What I don't understand is why it should happen. Why shouldn't "Reply all" really do a a reply to ALL? Why does Thunderbird think that even though I chose Reply all, I really didn't want my reply going to all?

You can configure your email client to set a reply to address, if you want replies to go to other than the address used to create the message, as I have often done, when sending personal emails from my work computer. Would you want any email client to ignore your wishes? In this case it is the list that is creating the reply to address. How is an email app to know the difference and then send a message that to an address that it's not otherwise supposed to?
