Really? Pressing the Reply button sends it to the sender and not the 
newsgroup?

I just noticed you can select "Sender only" under the Message menu, but 
there is no button available for that.

Still, TB and Moz's main weakness is lack of mailing list support. The 
way the newsgroup reply button is set up just follows from that lack of 
support. Plus with TB/Moz's relatively weak filters you can't do 
anything about it either (ie, you can't attempt to rewrite the reply-to 
header either).
