Actually, Thunderbird made the change to how the "Reply" button works
sometime around April 2021, and I'm still making the mistake of hitting
it when I should hit "Followup". At my age it's hard to change a habit
acquired over a couple of decades of posting to usenet; I'm doing my
best to change it, and still failing frequently.

 
Been there. I desperately looked for a way to fix or alleviate that
horrendous user-interface misconception. Eventually I was able to
fix it, but unfortunately cannot quite recall how that was done.

I seem to recall that I was advised that I could use an older version of
Thunderbird to edit the list of buttons that are visible, something that
cannot be done in the latest version. I'm afraid to go back to an older
version, because so many of the updates to most of the software I own
consists of security fixes. I don't want to go back to an older, less
secure version of TB.
