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

Thanks Arun, That does makes sense.

I am not sure about the previous conversations regarding this, however my
vote goes for what you said now.

So if there is way to build consensus again on the policy to be followed,
My vote is for Reply To to be set to the individual senders email ID.
