That isn't the workaround, that's the problem. 
Because 90% of my list-mail works with the reply button,
it's very difficult to remember to hit the other button
or the extra key for the remaining 10%. Already on the list
in question I've sent off several replies intended for the
list rather than the poster (Containing a mixture of comment
and suggestions for someone further up the thread)
