I'm sort of confused, but that's normal. In Thunderbird, I have two buttons: Reply and Reply List. Reply goes to the author, Reply List goes to the list.

I'm on version 52.5.0, which is quite recent, but this behavior has been around a while.

Another +1! Tested with this reply!

Thank you David. It works. What a PITA that had been.

Attention Thunderbird users:

In order to foster ongoing dialog in the lists, I have configured the list software to set the Reply-To header in messages to send back to the mailing list.

A recent change in Thunderbird disabled that behavior so that replies went to the author of the message, ignoring the reply-to setting.

Due to public complaints, the Thunderbird devs have added a config setting to make Thunderbird behave the way it used to.

IF you set the 'mail.override_list_reply_to' setting to false, in the advanced config editor, you will get the previous behavior (Preferences > Advanced > General > Config Editor). See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/52.4.0/releasenotes/ for more information.
