That is up to you, your MUA and (if you have a decent MUA) the
Mail-Followup-To header in the post you are responding to. 

Many MUA implement a "list-reply" function, and if yours are (looks
like you're using pine, I use mutt and it has this handy list-reply
function), use it. The second best option is probably the more
commonly implemented "group-reply" function, but that might not
respect the Mail-Followup-To header, and can thus cause unwanted
copies to the person you are replying to.
