This isn't an issue with TBird, or any MUA. The clients simply
obey/honor the list headers. For example:
X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/657649
List-Id: <debian-user.lists.debian.org>
List-Post: <mailto:debian-user@lists.debian.org>
Precedence: list
The "List-Post:" header contains the list posting address. When you hit
"reply-to-list" in TBird this is the address it selects for populating
the To: field in the reply.
If you reply to a message sent from a listserver that does not provide a
"List-Post:" header, then the address in the "Reply-To:" header is
inserted into the To: field of the reply.
Ergo, "reply-to-list" only works if a "List-Post" header is present.
