You can configure Gmail to default to reply all in the general
settings. Of course that's of no use if you're replying to a digest,
so switch to receiving individual messages. Receiving the list as a
digest is unnecessary with Gmail. Just create a label for the list,
and use a filter to automatically label and archive messages from the
list out of your inbox.
