I forget who already mentioned it this time around, but it is
automatic. Some mail clients aren't current/advanced/sophisticated
enough to have a specific "reply-to-list" function. In those mail
clients, the user only has the choice of "reply" or "reply-to-all".
Since "reply" would send a private message, those users instead use
the "reply-to-all" function. Thus you and the list both get put in
the To/Cc headers and both addresses receive a copy of the message.
Unless the user goes through the trouble to manually remove your
address and leave only the list's address as the recipient.
