Google search works way better than using the Thunderbird help.

Look for articles like this one for official help pages. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-create-and-use-mailing-lists-thunderbird

You could also switch your user-agent string. There's at least one Firefox add-on, if that is your browser.

As this has come up from time to time, I posted a suggested fix on an existing bug report. I don't know what resources are available to consider and implement it.
