Use "Reply to All", it's right next to Reply (also on the drop-down
menu).

It would be better if Gmail had direct support for list functions (Reply
to List etc.) but Reply To All should work.

Or you can use Gmail via a more complete IMAP or POP client, such as
Evolution or Thunderbird, which support list functions directly. I use
Evolution for this.
