I often do the same thing...
So I was set to change the list to change the "Reply-To" to the list, but
when I when I went to do it, here is the text on that option: "Where are
replies to list messages directed? Poster is *strongly* recommended for most
mailing lists."
When clicked on "more detail", there were lots of warnings about why it's a
bad idea to change reply-to to the list address, including a link to this:
http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
The point being that "Reply" should always mean "Reply to the
author/poster", and "Reply all" or "Reply group" should mean reply to all
concerned.
Interestingly, both you, I, and Austin use a gmail interface which makes the
"Reply" button prominent, but not "Reply All". I wonder if the issue is
really a gmail usability issue.
Anyway, don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but the admonition
on the admin interface to change the reply-to was strong enough that it gave
me pause enough to post it here.
