Please search the web for Reply To considered harmful.
I think it may have been discussed already on this list.

I would prefer if things were left as they are because it is better to
accidentally mail one person offlist than to accidentally mail the whole
list full of many people (by now we may well have hundreds of readers).

Some email programs include an option that allow you to easily Reply to
List and if your email program does not you might consider asking them to
add it.  Most programs include a button for Reply All which is what I
normally use.

I would really prefer if the list was left the way it is.  The cure is
worse than the problem.
