It's not so much the mail client as the list settings and the headers it
adds to the email (though some clients are broken with regards to this).

For me, using the Sylpheed client, a simple reply comes back to the list,
while a reply-all goes to the sender with a cc: to the list, which would
cause the original sender to get the message twice.  When replying to a
list, you hardly ever want to reply-all.
