The problem is a cultural one.

Unix clients EXPECT you to be part of mailing lists, Windows clients think you 
are mailing your boss or your mother and a "reply to list" would just confuse 
you.

This is definately something I have been struggling with over the last 3 weeks 
at work.  Just transitioned over to IT so I spend part of my day staring at 
Windows.

Still, you just learn to edit the outbound list.
