I have been using Thunderbird for some time. When I saw Pete's first message, I checked which version I was running, and it updated to 52.4.0. I used it to respond to Pete's most recent message below. It entered the Reply-To: (list) address in the To: field both when I used "Reply" and "Reply All". These are the relevant lines from the header of Pete's message as I received it:
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 20:05:15 -0400 Reply-To: LISTSERV List Owners' Forum <[log in to unmask]> Sender: LISTSERV List Owners' Forum <[log in to unmask]> From: Pete Weiss <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [LSTOWN-L] Thunderbird =?UTF-8?Q?=E2=80=94_Notes_=2852.4.0=29_=E2=80=94_?=Mozilla To: [log in to unmask]
It did not enter the From: address from the previous message as the To: address, as the note in Pete's original message described. I don't know why Thunderbird would have released the description it did, but that is not the way the program appears to be working currently.

[log in to unmask]"> Hard to say since my usual view of email headers which does display all (of them) did not show the REPLY-TO (if any).
BUT my reading of this one-line note indicated that IF a REPLY-TO were present, previous versions of Thunderbird's REPLY would honor it. Not sure what exactly happened with a REPLY-ALL.
HAVING SAID THAT, a few weeks ago I tried a beta version and the REPLY mechanism was different yet (basically, a dropdown list).
