You send one note to the list. The LIST sends out several copies of your note. Generally the list benefits if answers go to the list rather than to the original sender. Therefore I feel the DEFAULT action should be to email the list with extra action required to move into private email. Otherwise, why bother to have a list?

Lucky the list doesn't alter the Reply-To header, or I wouldn't have been able to divert this conversation to the off-topic list (to which I do not subscribe ;)
So it's okay for someone to put in a Reply-To of, say, ogre@homelandsecurity.gov and this listserver will diligently pass that through to all of us, so that anyone not carefully watching the headers might send an email there. Nice feature!
