That's a bit strong. Perhaps this behavior has changed, but "Reply"
replies to the "To:", but alot of times, with duplicates and cross
posts, etc., the "To:" line does not have the list address, but some
other one (or maybe several addresses). However, mutt's mailing list
feature always gets the right address to follow up to the list and
drops the rest.
