Simply put, there are mail clients available which are mailing-list aware. To
reply to the list you hit the "reply-to-list" button , to reply to the sender
you hit the "reply" button, to reply to everybody and their dogs hit the
"reply-to-all" button.
Now the mail client that you're using does not handle mailing-lists correctly,
so instead of looking for a better mail client you want the mailing-list
fixed instead?
It's a bit like saying "damn, I can't fully utilise the features of MS
Exchange with my non-Outlook client, why don't MS fix Exchange so I can use
it Yahoo mail?"
