This is, and still is, the only list where this is still a problem.
Only in linux-il do I see the TO and CC lines fill up.

I agree with you: Reply should go to the list. Only on Linux-IL mus I
do Reply All, and then I see "Oleg" in the To and "linux-il" in the
CC. Basackwards. I usually edit it, but sometime (like now) I'm just
lazy and leave it.
