I know Joe is really a hardware guy :-) but I'm with Joe on this software issue: T-Bird is THE mail client.

First off if you want to use GaMail you need to be on-line. I am not always on-line. Second the thing my wife complains most vociferously about GaMail is it's horrible search capability. I mean they own the Google what could they possibly know about searching? With 75GB of mail on my laptop I can search it all including in the body in just seconds.

My mail is on My server and it's on My devices not on a service that can decide to scan it, advertise to me about what's in it, or record it for any other purpose. Mine. Mine. Mine. Mine.

However until recently 'Reply to List' always replied to a blank entry. So I NEVER used that. Testing it now, it does show midrange-l there. Wonder if that was affected by the new config option?

The issue seems to be how to reply to the list.  You as the list manager do something nifty with the headers so that Outlook and iOS reply to the list.  Very slick stuff.  The issue seems to be that Thunderbird doesn't work the same way.

INSTEAD, Thunderbird lets me either hit Reply (to reply to the author) or Reply List (to reply to the list).  I haven't had to do anything to configure that behavior, it's how Thunderbird works. If I hit Reply List, it goes to the list.

So what is the problem Thunderbird is having?  That Thunderbird's default Reply doesn't work the same as Outlook?  That it has a Reply List button that other clients don't have?  To me, that's just a minor difference in UI design.

Anyway, not a big deal.  I hope you enjoyed the Holiday season, David! Say hello to your better half, and I wish you a wonderful New Year.
