Just use the "Reply all" functionality of your email client. I would be 
surprised if Gmail couldn't do this.

Recipients can elect to deduplicate the mail either on their local mail 
system or on the list server itself (by setting the "Avoid duplicate 
copies of messages?" option in their list preferences).

Mailman-based lists default to keeping the sender's From and Reply-to 
headers intact. Some of the reasons are described at:

It's not mentioned there, but one thing I find nice about lists 
implementing this policy is that in many cases it allows me to post to the 
list, and get replies, without needing to be subscribed. This is handy for 
those times when you only have a one-off question.
