Actually, a Cc: header to the list was something I was thinking about when
I posted it.  Then is a reply-all would address the previous poster, the
list, and the respondent him/herself; without the Cc: header it would go to
the previous poster and the respondent.

One thing overlooked in this discussion -- or maybe one person mentioned it
in passing -- is that lists that clobber To: to point to each member often
clobber From: to name the list there; that takes care of replying but makes
private replies impossible unless the poster supplies his/her address in the
text.

In light of RFC2369 it would be nice if MUAs learned about List-Post:.
