Erm, no, that's the choice of your email client or your settings not
to react to the List-Id and List-Post headers when composing a reply.

There should be some setting so that lets users say "by default, send
replies to List messages to the List-Post address".

If not, please either report that email-list-support bug to the
software publishers - or add the setting yourself if it's free
software and you have the necessary skills.  Please don't go around
asking people to break perfectly fine email list configurations.
The usual way of breaking it is to override the Reply-To header,
which destroys any previous value if it, thereby denying all list
senders the choice of specifying a different address for private
replies.

I'm pretty disappointed if someone from the Pirate Party wants
to break the world rather than bugfix their email client.  I thought
the PP was about making the world behave more sanely, not just
arbitrarily to benefit some users.

Hope that explains,
