Relax, I come in peace.

Clients aren't created equal. I don't have a "reply to list" button.
I have "Reply" and "Reply All". I went through some settings to see
if there's a way to enable the feature, but no luck.

I do, however, have other features that keep me on this client.
I don't expect the list to change their settings for the sake of one
client any more than others would expect me to change clients for the
sake of a list. That's why this is only a request.

Going off Dominick's email, it would help to at least make sure the list appears
in "To:" and not "Cc:", because then users of improper mail systems like me can
quickly backspace out the individual recipients. As it stands now each of my 
replies
has to re-addressed from scratch. I would think that in most cases, the typical
behavior is to reply to the list and the exceptional behavior is to go off list.
If that's true, is there something wrong with making the default behavior
more accessible to more clients?
