There are two opposite positions about that: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html http://www.metasystema.org/essays/reply-to-useful.mhtml >An email client should provide a "reply to all" feature which will >reply to the author and the list. That's very bad, because normally the sender of an email that is published in a newgroup is subscribed to this list. And this means that she gets the answer to her email twice! But there is help right at hand (for some of us): kmail has a nice feature, that by right clicking on an address in the "To:" or "CC:" field you can choose "send reply to ..." (or similar -- I use the german version). and AFAIK there are some mailers that are able to choose an extra answer address for a folder -- so you can collect all your ConTeXt listmails in one folder and everytime you send an email out of this folder this special address is chosen.
