Precisely.  I'm an old Linux bod (relatively speaking - using Linux
since kernel 0.97) and i've never worked out the fascination with reply
to sender.  If i'm reading a list message, i shouldn't have to think
about it - i should just be able to hit reply, and have the most likely
scenario worked out for me.

BTW, another alternative is to use gmane.org and read the list via news.
 It's also more efficient on your Internet connection if you only want
to read a subset of the list.

Did you know?  Using HTML email rather than plain text is less
efficient, taking anywhere from 2 to 20 times longer to download, and a
corresponding amount more space on disk.  Learn more about using email
