Yes, if I receive a mail send "To" one of my "secondary" POP accounts a
reply automatically will use this account, but if I receive a mail send
"To" a mailing list and by this mailing list it was "forwarded" to one
of those "secondary" POP accounts, then a reply will use the default
account. IOW it depends to the entry in the "To" field. Does it show the
"secondary" account or the address of a mailing list?!

We are at 3.10.3 now, so this might take some time. When do you think
will it be released? It's an urgently needed feature.
