Re: should Reply to a list message go to the entire list?

The point makes sense (for giving people an opportunity to check who they
want to send the reply to).

My query arose out of curiosity, now satiated. The Reply v/s Reply-All
becomes a matter of personal preference with webmail apps (GMail, for
example) allowing users to set default reply behavior to Reply-All. People
who are comfortable with notion of always replying to the list can set this
setting to Reply-All in their clients.

Best,
Manish
