That user agent is infact Dapper's Thunderbird 1.5. I know because I use
it. The rebranding really went a bit too far.

- From what I can see, there is no way of automatically replying only to
the list from within Thunderbird (or should I say 'Mail/News'), so the
behaviour of replying to both is inevitable if a Reply-To: header is not
given.
