[erlang-questions] mailing list "reply to"

[Jesse Gumm]

For me, it makes more sense to mangle the reply-to header since 99% of
the time, I'm replying to the mailing list rather than do the
individual.  It makes more sense to me to make the default behavior be
the most common behavior.  I view a mailing list as just another way
of implementing an online forum, and in that regard, the default
action is to reply to the thread, rather than via PM.

If I'm in the minority, and most people actually do private replies
more frequently than public ones, then that makes sense why it's the
default, preferred way.
