I guess you are not aware of the "reply all" button in thunderbird which 
does send to the mailing list, so it's only logical that "reply" does 
not send to the ML.

Yes, "reply all" does send a copy directly to the author, but mailman is 
intelligent enough so you can tell it not to send dupes to people 
addressed directly (unless addressed by BCC, in which case there is no 
way to tell there was a dupe in the first place)
