This link seems to make a good point:

https://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html

I can see in my Thunderbird (52.6.) there are TWO buttons "Reply" and 
"List Reply" right next beside it. The right one sends to 
"cbm-hackers@musoftware.de" and the original "reply"-button to the 
author of the mail. Seems pretty straight-forward to me.
