There is certainly such a thing as 'Smart Reply'. As you seem to be
using Debian or at least Icedove then it may function differently if
you're using the Stable branch and Debian doesn't backport IceDove
updates like it does Iceweasel. So if you're on a old version the
feature might not be present. 

In my reply to David I stated that behaviour relates to Thunderbird for
Mac. However, having just tested it in Xubuntu I see Thunderbird is
configured exactly the same way as Mac so it is likely this is a built
in feature of Thunderbird. 

The Smart Reply button is by default to the right of the reply button
and has a small dropdown arrow to the right of it. Check yours again to
see if it's present. 

The behaviour appears to operate as follows:

1) If the reply is sent by sender Bob directly to receiver Alice by
placing her in the 'To:' field, and other receivers like Mike and
James get Cc'd in the 'Cc:' filed, smart reply will default to 'Reply
All'. If the List is Cc'd too then the behaviour remains the same, Reply
All is the default.

2) If any 'To:' field contains the List address then the
behaviour of the Smart Reply button switches to offer 'Reply to List'
and you must select 'Reply All' from a dropdown, regardless if there
are other addresses in the 'To:' or 'Cc:' fields.

An illustration of this is the reply David sent to me, to which you are
replying. That was sent directly to me and Cc'd the list, so the Smart
Reply offers 'Reply All'. Your reply to David to which I am now replying
was to David AND the list, so the Smart Reply offers 'Reply List'.

Ordinarily I wouldn't want to add noise to what is a get_iplayer list
but if email clients are also 'hijacking' behaviours then it's little
wonder people get confused as to the expected bahaviour between how
lists are different lists are setup. 

Having read through the voluminous chatter about how this list is setup
I've now come down firmly in its favour and realise that in some part
my email clients have been obfuscating things. 

Claws Mail even seems to hijack the reply function to send to the list
when using the default 'reply to message' option, though thankfully you
can separate that out to 'reply to sender' and 'reply to list' in
separate buttons (which I've now done). If you want to 'fix'
Thunderbird, you can install the 'CompactHeaders' add on and that will
allow you to customise the message toolbar to explicitly add 'Reply
Add' to the available buttons.

Well, now I've thoroughly bored you and everyone else but I have
actually learnt a lot about how this stuff works and taken back control
of my email clients.
