The fact of giving and receiving help by a public mean, and having
this help available to others as well, complete in the archives, it's
for me enough reason to give +1 to set reply-to field to tutor
address.
If I am reading something which comes from a mailing list then I think
the most proper way to reply would be to send an answer to all the
people which originally received the same message. That way, I can
avoid duplicate answers, even better this conduct can lead to
additional complementary answers because someone can construct on
previous partial solutions/suggestions. But this needs all answers are
available to everyone.

This is my opinion. I hope my writing is understandable.
