    the list, and the rule obliges you to **only** use "reply".


    Thunderbird offers me both 'reply' and 'reply list' buttons for the
    messages on this list.

    most of the lists I'm on, a simple reply IS a reply list, as they
    wish to encourage discussions rather than private responses.   I
    personally dislike 'reply all' as I'm ON the list so why send me
    another CC ?

Go here:

And in settings check:

eliminatecc
Select this if you do not want two copies when someone sends a message both to you and to the list.




It lets me distinguish between the list threads that I haven't responded
to and those that I have.​

 From observation pretty much everyone here uses reply-to-all...I
suspect for a similar reason.

Also if the mail server is down or overloaded(a less frequent occurrence these days) you can carry on a conversation while the server catches up.
