You seem to be right. Just found the following example ...

As a Thunderbird user I find the current configuration more useful.

Ah, sorry, Sourceforge doesn't have this feature. Maybe they run an
older version of Mailman. With other lists I'm on, this option is
called "Avoid duplicate copies of messages?" and the explanation text
is: "When you are listed explicitly in the To: or Cc: headers of a
list message, you can opt to not receive another copy from the mailing
list. Select Yes to avoid receiving copies from the mailing list;
select No to receive copies.

If the list has member personalized messages enabled, and you elect to
receive copies, every copy will have a X-Mailman-Copy: yes header
added to it."

No, Thunderbird doesn't have it, AFAIK. But there are many bugreports
or featue requests open, like: 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715

I'm not sure, if current versions of Mutt evaluate the headers,
normally you add lists, you are subscribed to, into the config file. 

However at least the Webmailer "Horde" seems to evaluate the
List-header automatically. Horde has a button called "Reply to list"
which automatically does The Right Thing. 

Anyway many mailer like of course Outlook miss features for proper
list handling. That's why some lists do in fact mess with the
Reply-To. However most list for "technically inclined people" in my
experience tend to prefer to let the reply-to stay as it is, that is,
not change it to a Reply-To-List. That's also, why Sourceforge lists
default to the setting we had so far, I guess.

How? I only know "norcv" and "hide" which will do something different. 
And even if I could disable it for me, I cannot be sure others have 
disabled it.

Is this realized by evaluating the "List-Post" header? Unfortunately, 
Mozilla/Thunderbird does not have such a feature (or does it?).

You can normally disable this behaviour (getting list mails twice) in
your account's subscription's settings through the mailman web
interface. 

All Sourceforge lists default to not mess with the Reply-To, so at
least for me it is usual to press "L" in Mutt, which does a proper
List-Reply. Automatically redirecting replies to the list carries the
risk, that mails which were intended to stay private will go to the
public list instead, if I just press "Reply-To" as I'm used to with
all my other mails.

Ah, well, the old "Reply-To munging harmful or not" discussion ...

I have been annoyed by this as well. I just updated the list options
so in the future, replies will go to the list by default.

Yes, but I always forget it because in other lists this is not needed. 
Also, this results in sending the message to the list plus to the author 
who will receive it two times.
