FWIW, I *much* prefer having the Reply To set. I *hate* having to Reply All to 
get my replies to the list (gnucash's mailing lists are like that, as is the 
local BaltoLUG's list). Invariably, I'm clicking Reply, instead of Reply All, 
and the list doesn't get my message. Additionally, when I get replies to my 
messages from list members, I get multiple copies of the same message.
99% of the replying on this list is to the list. On the rare occasion where 
private replies are warranted, you can Reply All and delete the list.
All of which is just my opinion...

Regards, 
Tim
