You weren't replying to my msg, but I'll jump in anyway... I support your
view that the default "dum-dum" reply mode should be to the sender, with
extra effort to send to the list. Others disagree violently with me!
 
The settings I posted yesterday do that, as apparently yours do. The
mechanism for my suggestion is "reply" goes to the sender, while
"reply-to-all" (or whatever your tool calls it) goes to the sender
and the list. That's important for me, because I use a linear mail
tool (e.g. no windows, no editing of the header) so I can't just go
back and tweak who it will go to... I have to paste all the addresses
in or I have to go with what the reply function gives me.
