Thunderbird makes it easy. It also has a third command, "reply list". (I 
suppose it recognizes messages from mailing lists by the headers 
List-*:.) All three commands are in a menu, with "reply list" grayed out 
if the message is not from a list, and there are also handy buttons for 
as many of those commands as apply to the current message. Just now I 
clicked the "reply list" button.

Mutt also has <list-reply>, normally bound to 'L'.

The List-*: headers probably didn't exist 25 years ago, when that 
Reply-To: piece was written.

I guess what matters is what mass-market mail readers do. I guess they 
would be Microsoft Outlook, Apple Mail (Mac), the iPhone mail reader, 
and the Android app named "Gmail". What do they do?
