Most of the lists I subscribe to change the Reply To: to be the list 
address. I note ALUG does not do this.

Replying to your mail on the list sends to the list.

However, I find that many lists do not set the Reply To: field to the 
list and so if I do not take care my reply goes instead to the poster of 
the message I am replying to.

I'm trying the thunderbird "Reply to Mailing List" for this reply to see 
what happens.
