When replying, please reply to the senders and the list - it keeps the 
discussion flowing among those who employ mail filtering.  Those who 
don't like this behavior can easily deal with it via procmail, with a 
single TO_ match.  Those who wish this behavior in the opposite case 
would have to build a tracking database to follow threads which isn't 
readily done.

Purportedly there is a MUA that has mailing list group functionality 
built-in, which is really nice, but we don't mandate the use of any 
particular MUA here and know there are many who cannot switch.
