It's not a matter of sanity, it's a policy choice.

Some lists set replies to the whole list; others set replies to the OP.
Each approach has its own pros and cons. It depends on the (bulk of the)
members' vision for the list: Active discussion or Craigslist/classifieds
page? Neither one is right or wrong.

       exactly; a sane list is set-up to do as Kevin states so well.

       and as for you, Dave Howorth, just curiously wondering if you've
read Emily Post's book  ;-)

But equally a sane mailing list would default to reply to the list. If
the default is to reply to the sender, you are implicitly saying:

1. We really don't want to have discussions here;
2. If you do get an answer we can't see any reason for that to be
shared with anyone else.

Regards,

If you have a sane mail-reader, all you have to do is click on
Reply-to-all and it will interpret the list headers correctly to send
the reply only to the list. There may even be a Reply to List button.


No, a sane mail client will do what you tell it to do.

If I click Reply All, it should Reply All.

But yes, a sane client will also have a 'Reply to List' capability.

I like Thunderbirds 'Smart Reply' button, but sadly it only works on the
button toolbar down on the message header pane (which I keep collapsed,
so
never use), not on the main toolbar.
