As i told, mutt has extra support for this. But i usually hit the group reply key anyway... But if i press the List reply button, the reply is adressed to the list only. > When the person requests a Cc: (a rare situation), then you can add > them. Or reply only to "first posts" via group reply. If someone replied to a list message, you can expect him to read the list; in most lists you can expect this in any case... And many lists do allow posts from subscribers only. That's when "list reply" comes in. But i hate lists with Reply-To set. Fortunately, mutt has an option to ignore Reply-To for Mailing lists.
