You're using mutt.  From its manual:

   Mutt has a few nice features for handling mailing lists. In order to take
   advantage of them, you must specify which addresses belong to mailing
   lists, and which mailing lists you are subscribed to. Once you have done
   this, the list-reply function will work for all known lists.

Again, from the above manual:

  The other method some mailing list admins use is to generate a
   ``Reply-To'' field which points back to the mailing list address rather
   than the author of the message. This can create problems when trying to
   reply directly to the author in private, since most mail clients will
   automatically reply to the address given in the ``Reply-To'' field.
