I am not sure what you are aiming at. If "Reply-To-List" is supposed to be a
message header, as the typography, then you can observe that it is not
present in most of the mails on this mailing-list.

If you are referring to a MUA command, then first let me remind you that MUA
commands are not standardized, and therefore using the name of the command
on your particular MUA without an explanation is not a good idea. But that
is not the point. The point is that a procedure that requires a moment of
thought for each single mail "I am replying to a mailing-list or a simple
group discussion" is not acceptable. If that is what you are suggesting,
then consider that I accidentally got it wrong.

As I said, the default action should be the preferred action. The correct
interface for a MUA is a single button to reply to almost all the mails, and
a different procedures for exceptions, when the user actively knows there is
something different. As I have already stated, the procedure I use achieve
that goal for most of the mailing-lists I am subscribed (quite a few) and
direct discussions (including with groups of people from mailing-lists). I
therefore consider that if it does not work for some mailing-list, it is no
fault of mine.

To Lisi: re-read my mail, I gave the technical solution and headers I use.
