Yeah, from what I've seen in the past there is no agreement on the
default Reply-To policy...
My reasoning for having it set to the list address is that sending
replies to both sender and the list is unneeded, redundant and results
in duplicates in my mailbox if someone hits "Reply All". Or worse - if
someone hits "Reply" and forgets to replace the "To" address with the
list address, message goes to me only, thus killing the list
discussion. I do it myself all the time, besides I receive 5-10
messages a month from cayenne-user when it wasn't a sender's intention
to skip the list. So while we make "Reply All" less usable, "Reply"
will become usable again, which is more important IMO.
