I really hate lists with "reply-to" pointing to the list.
I know when I want to reply to the list, and when I want to reply individually to the sender. When reply-to points to the list, it is extremely difficult with most mailers to send a reply to the originator.

Yours,

Hi Jeroen,

I forwared your message - not replying to show your headder:

From: Jeroen Massar <jeroen@xxxxxxxxx>
To: Keith Moore <moore@xxxxxxxxxx>
Cc: ietf@xxxxxxxx

So you had sent to moore@xxxxxxxxxxx
ietf@xxxxxxxx received only a copy. Some people might have got
nothing.

My own Mozilla/Thunderbird behaves the same way:

I would have had to manually change to/cc for all recipients.

That is what we all need to do now if I got it correctly.

No, what needs to happen if we collectively decide we don't want the
current behavior is that the mailinglist software sets a "reply-to"
header, so when you hit "reply" or "group reply" your reply is sent
with the list in the "To:" field and nothing else. This used to work
well, not sure if modern clients handle this correctly, though. Try
to reply to this message to see what happens.

(BTW I got so fed up with receiving endless CCs for each discussion
thread I've ever posted to (you can actually manually remove those,
people!) that I now have procmail remove all messages with duplicate
msgids.)
