RE: List configuration question: Reply to Sender, or to List?

The problem with reply all is that you send to the original sender as
well as the group list, so the original sender gets two copies of the
message.  Not a big concern with the invention of the delete key, but
maybe a reply to list would work better.

All:

I need your opinion on a configuration setting for the mailing list
that we will be moving to.

The list software can set it up so that if some just does a "Reply" to
a message, that reply gets sent to the entire list.  An alternate
approach - the one that we're using now through this alias - is that
if someone does a Reply, it only gets sent to the original poster, and
you need a "Reply All" to include the list.

Which do you prefer?
