    After reading most of responses in this thread and being a Thunderbird
    user I thought about the idea of implementing an extension which makes
    use of the List-Post or other related headers for the "Reply to List"
    functionality.

    I went up to lxr.mozilla.org to study the code for similar actions and
    also did a search on mozillazine.org forums. And I found the following:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=192713&action=diff

    The patch was added to b.m.o on 14 Aug, and is sitting there for review.
    Lets hope the the mozilla drivers are quick enough to do a r and sr so
    as to get the functionality into Thunderbird/Mailnews from the 5yr old
    bug entry!!
