I identified 2 settings:

Turn OFF: "Show only display name for people in my address book"
  => this will make sure you see the name as set by the mailing list.

Alternatively delete the address book entry, **AND**

Turn OFF "Automatically add outgoing email addresses to my" ....


However, if you only turn off the first, then you still collect the 
address => with the name of whomever you reply first.
To avoid that, create an address book entry for the email **AND** make 
sure it has a name / lastname.

----------
Still, even with that

When hitting reply, it appears the name of the person (as set by the 
mail list) is written to the TO: header.

Before I sent the "test" mail, I changed my address book. The entry for 
lazarus at lists.lazarus-ide.org has now set its name/lastname set to "lazarus"
I then replied (the reply again has John in the TO: header)
But I checked afterwards: the entry in my address book still has the 
name "lazarus"
And my address book does NOT have any entry for John.

So that bit, I can't currently help.
