I see that this is a duell, reply to all, or reply to one (to be or not to
be, that's the problem).
We, in Italy, in our mailing list came across this problem, we started with
the reply to the list, but sooner we face that people (me too) in the hurry
to reply, often sent private mails to all the list, and of course many
member cry for this and the man who made the error got to feel miserable. So
after long time of this continuous not wanted problem we decided to vote to
change the command 'reply to the list' wit 'reply to the author', and this
last choice won at last.
Actually, we understood that not everytime a reply is useful for all members
but only for the author of the message, so if you decide that your response
may be useful for all members it is easy to put the address of the list
inside the field Cc: (it's so easy). This way prevents error in sending
private mails, sometime very private, and prevents that some one one day
come up to cry you and thinking about you as a stupid kid unknowleged on the
computer use, believe me it could happen. That's why I don't love the
authomatic command 'reply to all'.
