It's not just a question of a "smart" MUA. There are two different "smart" approaches. Depending on mailing list settings, formatted headers of the user and the wanted result, both have got pros and cons. Either "reply all" or "reply" could invoke a mailing list reply in a smart way. However, it depends on the wanted result and the headers of the sender and kept or overridden headers by the mailing list. Btw. the mailing list never sends 2 replies. One reply is from the list, the other directly from the sender. It's even possible to disable duplicated messages by mailman, but then you'll receive a reply without mailing list header, IOW just the reply from the sender. IOW it's a cheap workaround, it's not smart. A "smart" solutions always providing the mailing list header is possible, but hard to achieve. It only works if the common goal is defined and all pull together. It requires agreement regarding the content of the Reply-To and =46rom headers. A problem could be that some MUAs usually only provide one of the two options, but it's required that depending on the goal the user can chose between "reply all" or "reply" to invoke a mailing list reply.
