Yup, and that's exactly what it should do. I operated my first BBS in '85, so
I've been in this discussion "reply to list or reply to sender?" for quite a
while :-), and the consensus - and therefore default setting of Mailman, our
mailing list manager - is that reply-to-list is the least of two evils.
I think the only exception should be made for political/religuous/... lists
where sensitive topics are discussed and accidentally sending a message
destined for the list to a person is not as nearly as bad as accidentally
sending a message destined for a single person to the list. But in general,
reply-to-list makes sense.
(and it's non-negotiable, I really don't want to start that discussion again
:-))
Regards,
Cees
