I 100% agree. When I reply to an email on a mailing list I except that 
conversation to stay on the mailing list.

But this was most likely done as a mistake as some email clients 
clicking the reply will only populate the sender's email not the list's 
email (in those email clients the proper way to reply to the list is 
clicking the reply-all button).

This list was configured that way to satisfy Outlook.com and Yahoo email 
servers DMARC/DKIM policies, that have been affect most mailing list 
setup on the Internet.

I don't want to get into it more as it's been heavily documented on the 
mailing list:
