Can someone please override the Reply-To so that normal replies go to the list?

The Reply-To experience for this list seems wrong.
Clicking normal "Reply" sets the reply to the person who last sent an email to the thread, but not the list address.
Clicking "Reply All" sends a copy of the email to an increasingly larger list of people, with the mail list CC'd. The extra copies can be annoying for some, but it's a pain to manually edit the email recipients every time such that only the user list is in the To: field.
Unless there's a reason to keep it this way, can the email list admin please see if this thread's solution still works for making Reply-To default to us...@racket-lang.org? https://support.google.com/a/thread/11037574?hl=en

Proper mail systems use "reply to" indicate that the sender is sending

from a location that is not where he wants to receive email. This might
be because he is, for example, temprarily away from home.
"Reply all" is indeed to send to everybody nvilved in the message.
Proper mail systems also provide a command "reply to list". The proper
fix is to make sure your mail system supports reply to list.

author where he can receive email, and independently to reply to the
list.

Relax, I come in peace.
Clients aren't created equal. I don't have a "reply to list" button.
I have "Reply" and "Reply All". I went through some settings to see
if there's a way to enable the feature, but no luck.
I do, however, have other features that keep me on this client.
I don't expect the list to change their settings for the sake of one
client any more than others would expect me to change clients for the
sake of a list. That's why this is only a request.
Going off Dominick's email, it would help to at least make sure the list appears
in "To:" and not "Cc:", because then users of improper mail systems like me can
quickly backspace out the individual recipients. As it stands now each of my replies
has to re-addressed from scratch. I would think that in most cases, the typical
behavior is to reply to the list and the exceptional behavior is to go off list.
If that's true, is there something wrong with making the default behavior
more accessible to more clients?

Precedence: list
Mailing-list: list us...@plt-scheme.org; contact users+...@plt-scheme.org
List-ID: <users.plt-scheme.org>
But when I just tried reply-to-list on the message I'm replying to, all
I was told was
No mailing lists found!
So evidently something isn't working properly here, either; even though
I do have a reply-to-list function.
Is there something else subtly wrong with the mail headers? Or do I
have to do something weird to mutt to get it to behave?

It *is* possible to list more than one recipient in the To line.

I think there should be a "List-Post" header:

At least that header is necessary for Thunderbird to show the "Reply List"
button.
