Admittedly, it is not the most widely used email client but it has very
good support for mailing lists.

I noticed that this happens when I am cc'ed directly in an email to the
list so that the list manager had no chance to add its list-headers.

I do not want people to switch their email clients. I just seconded the
point that "virtually no mail client does this" is not quite correct and
that there are email clients which support "reply to list" (and not all
of them are obscure).

Perhaps some find the Thunderbird plugin helpful to use the mailing
list with the current reply-to setting.
