It does.  I remember arguing (who?  Me?) with KMail developers about this
years ago.  For some reason they didn't _want_ the default reply function
to be to a list when "List-Post" was available - even though KMail had long
recognized the List-Post header as special and given you an option
to "Reply to list".  Which is one of the primary reasons I stopped using
mail to receive any lists that were available in gmane news.
