This is not a bug in mailing list software, it's a bug in the MUAs.   
Despite, as Stephen says, *decades* of complaints such as this, very  
few MUAs support the mailing list RFCs that have exists for at least a  
dozen years.  Fix the MUAs first please.

It's actually easy too.  An MUA need only recognize List-Post and add  
a Reply to List button which would strip all the recipients and put  
the List-Post value in the To header.  Problem solved.
