Yes, broken mailing list system probably. What is it run by? Mailman?
I have had similar problems with Horde, but not with Neomail IIRC. Best
thing to do is copy and paste the address of the mailing list (*). Just
make sure you remember to always do so. If you mistakenly reply to sender,
the embarrassment is small anyhow...

Decent = non-existent. I don't even think Outlook has widget named
'reply-to-list'. A list is a list. If works properly, its 'reply-to'
address must always be the mailing list's, not the sender's.

Sometimes, if CC is void, 'reply-to-all' includes the OP and the mailing
list only. You can then take off the OP. Even quicker than (*).
