My vote is on the other side: I prefer the default "Reply To:" to go 
to the List. I belong to about 25 eLists and most of my responses 
(like this) are intended to go to everyone. Only a small percentage 
are intended only for the sender, e.g. response to a solicitation to 
sell an item or request for personal information about someone (e.g. 
email address). Most topics are of general interest and it defeats 
the purpose of an eList if a response to a general subject are sent 
only to the original sender.

BTW, of these 25-odd eLists, only a couple are set for the default 
"Reply To:" to be sent to the individual sender rather than the List.

Of course, there are exceptions to all generalizations, e.g. flames 
should not be posted to the List, even though many (most of whom are 
not involved) would enjoy them for their entertainment value.
