I use Mutt, which allows me to list-reply, but without setting up custom
configurations it doesn't use list-reply without being specifically told
to do so.  As such, I either give it a custom configuration, or I have
to use a different method of replying than the standard reply command
(using the r key for replies) if I want it to go to the list.  I'll
probably set up custom config for it to check for list-reply first,
though then I have to figure out how to make it easy for me to skip to
individual replying if/when I want to do so without having to use a
group reply and delete extra recipients (such as the list and myself).
Not all that big a hardship, but it seems like kind of a suboptimal way
to run a mailing list.

Er, that was more than I intended to say on the subject.

By checking the headers, I see that you're using Thunderbird.  I'm
surprised that it doesn't support list-reply.  Are you saying that it
doesn't recognize the list-reply header at all, or that it doesn't
default to list-reply when it exists, or something else entirely?
