No List-Reply appears to be the case for Thunderbird (there may be an
add-on that I am not aware of; I had a bad experience with Lightning so
I stay away from add-ons). However, Thunderbird allows you to read this
list on gmane. In that case, a simple reply goes to the newsgroup. And
I like the fact that I don't have list emails in my Inbox. I suppose
there is some way to tell how many xemacs-beta users use gmane regularly
vs. email.
