It's not really up to me, is it. If you're replying to my mail, it's ultimately up to you to decide whether it's better to send to the list, or to me. My client (Thunderbird, at the moment) has a "Reply" button and a "Reply List" button, so I can make that choice. What's important is that that choice isn't restricted. If you set Mail-Followup-To, you're attempting to make that choice for me (I haven't been following who sets what headers, so I'm not sure what Thunderbird does with it). What's also reasonably important is that people don't accidentally send a private reply to the list, so any header (whether added by the sender or by the list) that causes the replying MUA to do that automatically is, IMHO, a mistake. Nobody here (for a change) seems to be suggesting that the list adds the Reply-To header, which is good - that can break private replies entirely. Richard
