Why can the list set the reply to the list and if there is a sender whos email
is not on the list add them to the reply to header as well.
I forget too many times to fix the address lines, and I get beaten with a stick
at work when I use the reply all.

I have to adjust to different behavior for different lists as well. On
the Debian lists, you are expected to reply to the list only, unless
someone sets their Mail-Followup-To accordingly, in which case your mail
client should do the right thing and CC them.
On the Git list, you are expected to CC everybody. I personally prefer
the Debian strategy, as I read the list and don't generally need the
extra copy, but when in Rome….

Nice! "Coddling the Brain-Dead, Penalizing the Conscientious" from the first
result http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html
That describes me to a tee, although I strongly disagree with their premise of
"It Adds Nothing", it subtracts one message from my inbox.
Btw, nice email address it is what I needed today.
