How the Reply function of a list like this works is entirely
up to the list owner/moderator.
 
It is more common with lists these days to reply to the
whole list.

Subject: [VICUG-L] Reply & reply to all on mailing lists.


 
On our mailing list when I click on the reply button in my
Outlook Express the originator of the post address pops up
in the address field. When I click on reply to all buttons
the sender's address along with the address for the mailing
list pops up.  This is wonderful and this works like a
charm.
 
However I am on four or five more mailing lists and these
buttons don't work the same way. It would seem not all reply
and reply to all buttons on mailing list is created equal.
When I click on reply the mailing list pops up in the
address field then I have to go digging to find the original
sender's address.
 
Who is in control of the function of these two buttons? Can
I make a change from my side of the monitor or is the
buttons a function of the list owners. 
 
This issue has been pushing my buttons for some time now.
