Complain to your mail software's vendor.  There is no excuse for any
MUA to lack reply-to-list in this day and age.

It is: I switched to Debian using only the installation manual and the
7-floppy-disk installation for bo back in 1997, right before hamm went
stable.

Your question is based on the wrong assumption.  Debian is not about
accommodating broken software or said software's users.  That's what
Microsoft is for (though you get better support for Microsoft products
from the Psychic Friends Network than from Microsoft[1], so
apparently, accommodating broken software and it's users isn't
Microsoft's modus operandi, either).

Hey, you act hostile, expect a hostile response.
