So those of us who use a mail client that doesn't have a reply-to-list 
are just screwed? {I use Thunderbird in both Windows and Linux]
No granted, it would be MUCH better if our clients HAD a reply-to-list, 
but since it doesn't, and since I can't run evolution in Windows [nor 
honestly would I want to, I LIKE Thunderbird :) ], I'm just SOL.

As it is, what I do is Reply to all, then switch the To: & CC: so the To 
goes to the list and the CC goes to the user. Kind of a pain, and I too 
sometimes forget to hit reply-all.

On the other hand, I can totally understand the reasons for NOT changing 
the Reply-to:. So why the heck hasn't anyone put this functionality in 
Thunderbird? I've gone through the bug regarding this [ 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45715 ] but it doesn't seem 
to be going anywhere.
