In general 'Reply' defaults to Sender, with a few exceptions: 1. A smart mailer that detects the message is from a mailing list, most likely configurable (e.g. Claws Mail already mentioned, probably Sylpheed as well) 2. A Reply-To is set, either by the list[1] or by the Sender (maybe others I forgot or am not aware of) For mailing lists one should follow the rules and conventions of the corresponding list, e.g. on Debian lists replies should go to the list only, unless explicitly requested otherwise. If your mail client doesn't properly support mailing lists one can either 'Reply' and replace the Sender's address with the list address or use 'Reply-to-All' and delete all unnecessary addresses.
