The mailing lists on haskell.org set the List-Post: header to the adress 
of the list, and many mail clients use this information to allow "reply 
to list" somehow. If your client doesn't, you can manually work around 
the problem by "reply to all" and possibly deleting the email adress of 
the original sender.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.6, and I have configured it to show a 
button "reply to list" between "reply to all" and "forward".
