FYI, this isn't always true. If the person replying selectes "group"
reply, a copy will be sent to the list and to the sender (and anyone
else in the To and CC lists as well). If the person replying selects
"list" reply, a copy will be sent only to the list, and to anyone
listed in the Mail-Followup-To header. AFAIK not many mailers have
list support so it shouldn't be much of an issue. I use mutt and,
unless explicitly requested in the mesage (and in this case since you
may not be on the list yet ;-)), use "list" reply instead of "group"
reply.
If you are signed up on the list, you will get a copy of the message,
as sent to the list when I use this feature. When people use "group"
reply you get a copy addressed to you AND a copy addressed to the
list.

PS. Just in case it isn't clear, I'm not complaining about broken
mailers ;-), just informing readers of the whole story (as I know
it)
