This "reply" function is a matter of how the list is set up and nothing
more. Although I maintain a listserv server, the other type lists
(mailman, majordomo, etc) are likely the same. You can configure the
list email "reply to" address to go back to the list or back to the
original sender. So its not really the client email program whether its
Eudora, Thunderbird, or Outlook at play here but rather a server
setting.

Generally lists use the "reply to" to go back to the sender in order to
reduce list traffic which is critical for high traffic lists (this one
would not be classified as such though).

If you do want to reply to the list, use the universal "reply to all"
function and trim off the individual users as they in most cases do not
want or need the second email. Except if the user is on the digest mode
and they want a quicker response. The digest mode typically just sends
out one daily email with all the list emails or on a high flow email
day, it sends out the digest once a certain threshold of email is hit.
If you do think you are getting too many separate emails from this list
or have a slower connection, I would recommend you try the digest mode.
