The idea is that by default messages should be sent privately; this avoids people doing stupid things, such as sending private details (credit card numbers) to the list while thinking that they're writing in private. If you want it to end up on the list, then you should explicitly 'reply to all' and thus include 'lyx-users' in the CC list. This policy is supposed to improve the quality of the list, the welfare of the naive users, or some other similar crap.
