Let's avoid entering this particular flame war here on the dev list.
Some mail clients are smarter than others...If using a dumber one (I
myself use one that doesn't have a good means of responding to lists) we
just have to accept the slight inconvenience of either replying to both
list and sender, or taking the time to remove the original sender from
the To field. It is worth the trouble in order to avoid losing
information through reply-to munging.

For what it's worth, I know for a fact that none of the folks here will
be offended if you take the easy way out and Reply-to-all whenever
posting. We don't mind getting second copy every now and then.
