I can't agree. For a review of the opposing viewpoints, see http://marc.merlins.org/perso/listreplyto.html I've been in both camps, but I have now settled for the "harmful" camp. I've been to too many mailing lists with reply-tos, and what you get is a lot of mis-sent private messages, and then a lot of "sorry, didn't mean that", flame-wars over comments that weren't meant for the list, and even "hell, remove that comment from the list archive". All that is _far_ more annoying than the occasional CC, IMHO. Me, I usually use KMail's very nice reply-to-list function, I might CC people if they CC me, or if I suspect people to not be on the list. But reply-to-list really works well.
