I have a gmail account as well, and I know that it doesn't handle
mailing lists well. However, gmail does offer POP3 access you one's
account, so he could always set up mutt or icedove or any other MUA that
can handle POP accounts, then he can reply to the list properly.
In order to get icedove to handle it properly, one needs to install the
Reply-To-List extension.
