Re: Spam rule for HTTP/HTTPS request to sender's root domain
Thunderbird normally shows reply-to in normal messages...is this
something that some MUAs ignore just on mailing list emails or all
emails? Because I see reply-to on plenty of other emails.

I cannot keep track all of the irrational things done by all MUAs. I'm
not even surprised by anything new and wrong I see any more.
It is certainly POSSIBLE that because *some* mailing lists impose a
fixed Reply-To, some MUAs ignore it on list messages. It is certain that
some just ignore it no matter what because they are written by fools.
Also, some people configure their MUA to "reply all" by default all the
time, overriding any normal Reply-To support.

You can see it for yourself in the raw message at the list archive:
