This is one of those "holy wars" (like plain-text vs. HTML, C vs. LISP,
emacs vs. vi, etc.) that tend to crop up in the computer
field. There are good reasons for both ways of doing it, so asking the
list administrator to change one way or the other isn't really a
discussion I want to have. Arguments for and against can be found
here:

Reply to all seems a decent solution, except the author of the message
to which I am replying gets to copies: a personal one and a group
message. What I'd really like is a reply to group feature that only
sends the message to the group, not to the group and the sender. That
way, I have all three options.

The solution I'm using for now is the right click on the list address
and select "Reply to this address." It works okay and invokes the
correct templates. I considered using a folder template, but I've been
burned by them before...
