Confusion between Reply To and Reply List in email responses

One data point, since I have seen this issue:

In Thunderbird (I’m running v78.7), I believe that it recognizes Discourse emails as coming from a mailing list and offers two reply buttons – Reply and Reply List.

Reply will create a reply going back to the “From” address (noreply@xyz.com)

Reply List will create a reply going back to the “Reply To” address (replies+01234@xyz.com)

I personally find it very easy to accidently hit the reply button instead of the reply list button.
