Some mailing lists don't require a subscription so you should use 'g' to reply to those lists so even unsubscribed participants get the messages. Other lists insist that you /don't/ reply to everyone and only reply to the list so for those you should use 'L'. Which one is appropriate will depend on the list rules. It can be hard to keep it straight if you mostly lurk... IIRC, we're supposed to only reply to the list for mutt-users, but I see that isn't being done in this thread and nobody is getting upset so perhaps I am mistaken. :) In that case, undelievered apologies to anyone that doesn't get this and should have.
