I figured out what is going on. Messages coming from lugnet (ie,
originally posted via the newsgroup) have a Reply-To header on
them. Messages posted through the mailing list (such as this one)
don't.
In-Reply-To: is a header which tells the message id of the message
that the reply is to. Some email clients can use this to make
threaded views of folders (although none that I use).

If someone wants to reply to everyone then they can hit the
"Reply to All" available on most email software. The problem with
having a Reply-To on every message is that it makes it more
difficult then normal to send a private reply (you have to dig
and find the users email address, then reply and edit the To line
to point to them).

I think that is the store that I was thinking of.
