Hmmm. In Kmail 1.7.91 (I know, it's apples and oranges comparing Mutt to 
Kmail) I find that I have several options.

Plain "Reply" usually replies to the list. "Reply to Author" literally replies 
only to the poster at whatever email address they claim to be mailing from.

"Reply to all" will do both.

"Reply to mailing list" usually comes up with an unaddressed email window. 
Probably because of the way the Ubuntu mailing list is setup.

This may cause problems with other email programs, too. ;-)
