Some mailing lists add a Reply-To: header with the list address; that 
would make 'r' send to the list address instead of to the original 
sender. Opinions are mixed on whether it's a good idea for lists to do 
that. You could check whether that header exists in your list messages 
where you see that behavior.

It's possible to change key bindings, so maybe you could do that on the 
fly, conditionally, for certain folders...or maybe you could write some 
tricky macro...but I think probably those are both bad ideas. I think 
you'd do better to just always use 'L' to reply to a list.

This section of the manual describes what Mutt can do with mailing lists:
