It does behave differently, at least for a few of us, but not in the sense
you seem to have understood. You can have a "Reply to all" option if
someone sends an email to this list without involving any other address. Me
and a few other people do not have that option for this list unfortunately.

That said, and written before, that is also a bit suboptimal for a list
like this in my opinion, even if we could achieve that.

I also tried with a mailinglist that is a Google group and again reply to

If only there was a "Reply to all" provided by mailman while preserving the
"Reply" behaviour as is.
