From mutt I can just press L to do a list reply. This means that the reply will go to the list an optionally the sender will be sent a copy if they had set the Mail-Followup-To: header. This gives people the option of making it so that they will receive a cc if they asked for it. It seems to work OK for me. There are certainly times when I reply to a message by pressing L and mutt automatically sets it so that the mail goes back to the sender and the list. But mostly it just goes to the list since most people are subscribed and don't need a cc - so they haven't asked their mail program to set the Mail-Followup-To: header. Mutt allows you to tell it which lists you are subscribed to and it will set this header for you. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Cheers. Mark.
