No, 'reply all' replies to all (as advertised). It doesn't mean 'all in 
the mailing list' it means 'all addresses found in the email header'.
So by using this you not only send a reply to the list, but an 
additional mail to the originator of said email. Who will be rightfully 
confused as to why he gets the same message *twice*.

Thunderbird, as has been mentioned, does not have such a feature. Except 
you compile it yourself with some magic and then use a special extension 
(search the web, I don't know what it's called off hand).
