I also use Thunderbird but I don't like Reply-To munging because of the 
greater potential for nasty consequences (ie. a message which was meant 
as an individual personal reply instead going to a public list). I 
wouldn't object to a Reply-to-List feature in Thunderbird though. 
Personally I prefer to get two copies, one in my Inbox and one filtered 
into the list folder when somebody replies to something I wrote, but 
I'll try to remember that you prefer only the one copy.
