Re: [Mailman-Users] The "right" way to reply to a mailing list

For example I’m still not really clear on which field the list address should go into,

To or CC. Most Mailman lists will refuse to accept mail BCC'd to the list.

and does it matter what other addresses go into to and cc fields.

It doesn't matter for mechanical purposes. To, CC, and BCC are all routed the same way (using RCPT TO aka "envelope recipient" at the SMTP level), and To and CC are handled the same way by almost all receiving MUAs (BCC is, of course, as invisible to the receiving MUA as it is to the human).

So To is your target, and CC is the innocent bystander, and BCC are the sniggerers in the peanut gallery, as always.
