Can you change the reply address to be the list? As it's a discussion list this makes it easier to reply and keeps people from cluttering up members boxes with needless direct replies.
This is one of those issues that will cause dissension, and much has been written about the issue on the Internet. I'm happy with the way things are. Unfortunately, there's a lot of brain dead email clients out there that don't handle mailing lists properly. I use Thunderbird, which has a "Reply List" button when I'm reading messages from a list setup like this. Quite neat, and I get the option of replying to the original sender or the list if I want or need to as well. Works well, when the list is hosted by a decent list server such as Mailman (as this one is).
Yea, I do it right, but most others don't. I'm of the opinion that it should be the default and then let people who want to reply direct make it the option. Makes for some fun emails to the list too :)
