This is somewhat true ... but I still care; even if the standard sways 
to the other side.  In fifteen years of mailing lists, this has come up 
more and more in recent history.  I'd like to know how many people have 
sent E-mails to their E-mail software authors asking for a 'reply to 
list' option in their mailers ...

There is actually one good thing about replying to the list, instead of the 
individual; The list can manage to remove invalid email addresses and
out-of-office replies (not that all lists do that, but could).
  

My E-mail software also does those things for me ... again, you might 
want different E-mail software.  I'm sure many people on this list 
(yourself included?) remember the number of that's because you use AOL 
responses AOL users got to their E-mail problem requests in the last 
years ... the same applies to MS products now (although you use KMail, 
not Outlook and its ill-formed compatriates).

 Use the reply-to-all or List-reply button, whichever Outlook has.

Easier to say than remember if you have (like I do) 15 mailing lists and a
couple of different behaviours.

I don't care which becomes industry standard, as long as the behaviours
converge, reducing what I have to remember.
