just about every mailer has a way of doing "reply to all", eg netscape has
one icon for reply, and one beside it for reply-to-all, as does outlook i
think. pine asks you whether you want to reply-to-all, elm, mutt,
etc.. surely have similar options.

Setting reply-to to point to list is an extremely bad idea precisely
because it breaks the above mentioned feature of mailers, nevermind the
potential for people accidently sending embarrassing/personal messages to
the list.

so the smart way is to use your mailer the way it was intended to be.
