Just to provide another perspective... Most of the other lists I participate in ask that you respond personally to the individual who sent the original email. That person is supposed to summarize responses back to the group. This significantly decreases the volume of email traffic going to everyone... but it won't work if you have a lot of lazy people on the list who don't like to summarize.

I'm on a number of lists that set Reply-to: and we simply do not have these discussions there. Zope lists are the only ones I'm on where I routinely get personal replies that were apparently intended for the list, and routinely see threads about this same topic over and over.
+1 on Reply-to. I regard this as optimizing for the common case. :)
Share your knowledge, spread the word...
What's the "good" reason for replying only to the sender as default? If I want to write only to the sender (this happens once or twice a year, while I reply more often to the list...;)), I'll can cope with Copy&Paste his/her address.
Replying to the list should be the default of a community.
We are a community, aren't we?
1+ on Reply-To
Cheers, Maik
