If you don't do any header munging, that's the way it works now. The
poster has her/his From: or Reply-To: address that returns a simple
"reply" to her/him. The list address is in the To: (or maybe the Cc:),
so "reply all" goes to the poster and the list and any other To:
and/or Cc: addressees.

It works like that with all MUAs that I am familiar with including
Eudora. The only problem is if the OP put the list in a Bcc:, but that
usually results in the post being caught in the "implicit destination"
filter anyway.
