IMHO that is no good UI design. One shortcut has to be always the same,
changes will confuse the user.

Personally, I always thought about a "Drop-Down Button" similar to the
"New" button, with "Reply To All", "Reply To List" and "Forward".

That's not as easy. The heavy thing is to find an icon. At least, you
can set Gnome stock icons -- if you know the actual name.

Search evolution-mail-message.xml for
 <placeholder name="MailMessageToolbar">

and add another entry between ReplySender and ReplyAll:
 <toolitem name="MessageReplyList" verb=""
  _label="Reply to List" priority="1"
  pixtype="stock" pixname="Mail"/>
