As usual with anything software related, it's probably better to do
things mindfully than rely on acquired neuromotor reflex.

The philosophy may or

problems mistakenly replying privately when intending to reply to the
list than the other way around. Anyway, if we're to leave reply-to
alone, listservs probably shouldn't modify the subject line either.
Cheers,
S.M. Can you, please, set Reply To: to go to the list,
not the sender,
please? It's a trivial change, and I can't count the number of times
I've sent my reply to sender, not the list. Thanx!
The other way round (list
instead of just sender) is worse, so
making it a clear decision to use Reply-to-list instead of
Reply(-to-sender) is of benefit. Clients with no or not obvious
enough Reply-to-list are broken.
