Yeah, perhaps I'm not understanding something, but if the list server is
configured with the list address in the reply-to header, but *does not*
hide the individual's personal address (as described by Greg) how hard
is it for someone to copy and paste that address in a new compose window
in the 'to' field? And to make it even easier, most mail apps have a
feature that if you select *any* e-mail address, you can get a context
menu to send a new message to that address!
So the default behavior would be reply-to-list, and if the *OFF* chance
you *might* want to privately reply, you can still do so. (note, private
replies to this list are discouraged, so why make it the default?!)
That way you don't have to rely on people understanding 'reply-all' or
'reply-list' explicitly, and you can still reply privately *very easily*
if you want to.

Adrien

That seems like an unnecessary dichotomy. Perhaps it's a limitation of
mailman, or our ability to administer? On the other list I belong to that
server causes either reply type to default to only the list server without
obscuring the originator's address.
Those lists are almost impossible to make *private* replies, without being a
near computer-Guru.
Note I manage a list populated by people who are mostly non-techies, which is
a "standard" Mailman list and is set up much like this list and these
non-techies have no problem replying to the list and making private replies as
appropriate. *It Is Not Rocket Science.*

Greg,
This topic comes up about once a year or so, usually closer to Spring as
people start working on their taxes and asking for help.
In short, yes, mailman COULD be set up to set the Reply-To the list. The
downside of that approach is that it makes it MUCH MUCH harder (nearly
impossible) to make an off-list (private) reply. The decision, which has
been made over and over again over the past 20 years, is that making it
POSSIBLE to make a private reply is more important than making it always
reply-to-list.
This is why every message has a note to remind people to Reply-All.
