Now that the list supports the standard headers, there are, in fact,  
mail clients which support a separate "reply to list" button which  
sends to the list based on the appropriate header, which is how I am  
sending this reply.

I prefer it over using "reply to all" because I can then easily scan  
my outbox and detect which messages I sent to the list.

By the way, regarding the "[linux-il]" tag - is there a way to set up  
a poll about this, rather than conducting a lengthy argument?
