As far as I understand this is done to retain the ability for a poster to _either_ reply to the list or to the message's author whereas adding a "Reply-To: debian-user..." header would prevent this making the "Reply" and "Reply List" buttons (e.g. in Icedove) equivalent. Additionally, this way, the original message is altered as little as possible. > The various Debian lists are the only lists I've encountered since the > days of Slackware floppy installs that acts in this fashion hitting > reply, which replies to individual sender instead of the group-sender. > > I'd just like to be less ignorant.
