I did take this off list to Wietse, but it is worst than you make it out
to. It can even vary by sender to a list.
I apologize, a little for top posting. Another deadly list sin, but I
did not want this buried all the way at the end.
This message from Harald, if I reply to sender it goes to Harald only.
Reply to all, the list is CCed with To: to Harald and finally Reply to
list (which is NOT an easy keystroke command (sft-cntl-l), and only
available on an open message) does make the To: the list.
Now that earlier missive from Wietse works the opposite! Reply goes to
the list, Reply to all CCs Wietse, and Reply to list goes to the list.
Off list, I told Wietse I would endeavour to be diligent, but I pretty
much have to generically use reply to all and edit the headers as I jump
from list to list.
So please drop this thread as it is noise taking Wietse away from
designing the master.cf edit function.

Your headers reveal you are using Thunderbird; it can't be that hard to
click "List reply" or whatever the button inscription translates to in
your locale. It works for the Postfix list.
maybe the icon is not in the toolbar
i can not say if it is as default
but i know my personal history
* my thunderbird-profile ist from 2004
* this was before i used linux as my main-system
* this was before i started to work as sysadmin
* this was before i used any mailing-list
so maybe i had disabled the icon years ago as i cleanup
my user-interfaces and remove unused icons, especially
in times with not so large displays as today
said that: i personally realized the option also after
a not so nice answer from Wietse like th eone to Robert
two years ago, pulled it back to the toolbar and since
this day i am using it

but as said - there are a lot of mailing-lists out there which are
configured by morons where this all does not work as it should or
is destroyed because many users on other lists are doing permanently
"reply-all" and if your server is configured like mine to supress
duplicates because of this there are good chances that you get only
the personal copy without list-headers at all
so you have to take attention permanently that you reply correctly
to the list-address only, sometimes you are frustrated because of
this and hit "reply-all" because others do also not care and after
reply to 10 other mailing-lists it may happen from time to time
that this mistake happens on the postfix-list too
i know for sure Robert is active at least on Fedora/CetOS/Dovecot
lists, i am personalyl active on at least 17 lists (counted the
sieve-folders for mailing-lists on the server)
so maybe we should not make such a big deal on this odd "how
to reply" because this reasons and because the fact on other
lists you even get replies if you try to educate people that
other members even like two copies for questionable reasons
