afaik, this has been the case for several years now. If I hover over the 
first button it says (translated from my Dutch version of Thunderbird): 
"reply to sender of this message"; over the next button it says: "place 
a comment in this newsgroup". I make the same mistake from time to time.
Of course, that second button is not available when not reading 
newsgroup messages in Thunderbird.
