David,

SF isn't the one responsible for this behavior. Mailman defaults this
way, and SF is following the Mailman recommended setting.
The Mailman Cabal follow RFC's when possible. Munging email header
fields isn't recommended for a variety of reasons.
Does Yahoo implement list headers?

The preferred solution is mail user agent (MUA) support for
reply-to-list. I note you're using Thunderbird. Unfortunately, that MUA
doesn't support reply-to-list at this time.
Note: there is a mailman patch from Marc Merlin that makes list
reply to munging user configurable. I'm not sure if it made it
into the 2.1.x releases.

Lots of people do, and it's debated often. :-(
