I have to make a quick comment. I was not happy using Outlook and went to
Thunderbird. Years ago I used to be an avid Thunderbird user. Agile moved
from internal email to Google Mail. Thunderbird was crashing at least once
a day if not more after that. I went to Outlook for several years. Then it
became unstable and I went back to Thunderbird the 52 version everyone is
discussing. Again crashing now two to three times a day. Back to Outlook
latest version and I'm not looking back. Now most of you know I'm not
Microsoft's biggest cheerleader but in this case, it just works, and while
not free, it's also well supported. Futhermore, it never had the reply
list problems thunderbird had.

Subject: Re: *** ADMIN: Attn Thunderbird Users: Reply-to behavior
Late to the party and testing the change...
The principle of least surprise was at work when before T-Bird decided to
change the Reply-To. When I reply to a single entity, it should go to that
entity, and previous to the last change T-Bird did just that: If it was a
person, the reply when to the person, if it was a list, the reply went to
the list. They changed that behavior and then you had to remember to use
"Reply to list" which in my increasing enfeebled state meant that most of
the time I forgot to use the "list" option. David's instructions "fix" that
requirement and I am thankful for it.
And +1 to all the comments about using a "desktop" email client like
T-Bird. I only have a paltry 12GB of email going back to 1995 (some
occasional purging done) but search and filtering are great, fast tools that
I use all the time...
Seems to work! Thanks David!

Interesting. I'm using Thunderbird 52.5.0 (32-bit) and it has
separate Reply and Reply List buttons. Reply goes to what shows as
the From: email address; Reply List goes to the Reply-To header email.
I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect that the reply-list button uses the
List id header to determine what address to reply to.
