list-admin :: default to 'reply-to' the list ?

[Jerry Yu]

could this explain why some older postings are not well threaded, when you
google and found them in the archive?

Anyhow, I didn't mean to start a mailman discussion or alike. just want a
sane default behavior to benefit myself and future readers of the archive. I
use Gmail and Notes (webmail) to read posts, 'reply' is a lot easier/faster
than 'reply-to-all'...

Allow me to summarize what we have so far:

   - reply-to: list     No action required of the end user, but a simple
   change by the list admin, I assume
   - reply-to-all:      user needs to delete the current poster he
   replied to; or to be flagged not to receive duplicates
