In practice, I use two types of replies. One to all the list
recipients and one to only the author of this particular message.
It's silly to send the message to the entire list and send a
duplicate to the author. (He already has a copy because he is a
member of the list.)
PBML on Yahoo Groups uses munged Reply-To addresses. I have
contributed to that list for about 6 years. I understand that it
will never change this option. Thank goodness.
I like not having to use "reply to all" and then delete
addresses like I do on the list.perl.org lists. I am willing to
give up my freedom in exchange for a sane reply choice.
What we probably need is unmunged Reply-To addresses and mail
clients which allow custom reply choices. Then the experts and we
young whipper snappers can both be happy. :)
