No it's changed. In a nut shell. Hitting reply sends reply to sender of

Just about every mailer has a Reply To All, which does just that. So in
the case of mailing lists. It seems many are migrating in that
direction. Which technically is the proper way to go.

admins decision. 

First read:

Then, the rebuttal:
   http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html

Finally, the rebuttal to the rebuttal:
   http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/listreplyto.txt
