Quoted?

Did I something wrong? :)

See below.

Indeed: I receive them in my main INBOX.

Indeed, but I'd like a single keybinding for all the "reply" actions.

Exactly! :)

As answered to Damien, a further check at the list's headers puzzled me:
`Reply-To:` is the list address, not the sender's one. Why Gnus doesn't
take it into account when I reply with `r` or `F`?

I'm so lazy that I love work hard in order to be able to be (lazy) ;)

Because I'm likely to forget to use this different keybinding when
appropriate.

Okay, but I'd like it to be one the "usual" ones: `r` or `F`.
