I'm not sure we can get the behavior that Rob mentioned above, but if we
removed the Reply-To header, then most clients would have reply go to
just the sender (not including the list) and reply to all would set the
To with the sender and cc the list. Currently reply sends a message to
the list.

This is the default for the non-listen lists I'm on. It's arguably not
ideal, but it's a heck of a lot better than having 'reply-to' and
'reply-to-all' both go to the mailing list, as is presently the case.

This change would be a significant disruption to all current listen
users. I think before making this change it might be worthwhile to do a
little survey of popular list apps, like Google Groups, mailman, Yahoo
groups, etc. to see what is the standard. Once finding this, I think it
makes sense to emulate it even if it creates a disruption.
okay, just to formalize my thoughts:
i'm a strong +1 to keeping the current 'reply' behaviour, if we can make
'reply-all' include the sender by default for most popular mail clients.
it's not clear we can do this, though, so i'm +0.5 to changing the default on
new lists, as long as a) there's a way to change the setting on a per-list
basis and b) existing lists maintain their existing Reply-To behaviour until
someone explicitly changes the setting (this addresses chris's concern re:
disruption to existing lists).
strong -1 to any choice that transparently changes the behaviour of existing
lists.
