I press "L" to reply to the lists.

To repeat: This list has *no* default reply-to at all. 

Everyone is free to choose whom to send mail to. No embarrassing
moments, when some private mail gets send to the list unintentionally,
just because the list administrator thought it would be a good idea to
make the reply-to function of mail agents work different than usual.

All lists I'm on where the reply-to is messed with regularly have
these embarassing moments. 

Popular counterexample: All Sourceforge lists are set up without any
default reply-to address.

Well, just don't use "reply", if you don't want to reply.
