Personally I tend to prefer the 'reply to list, unless the poster
specifically sets the reply-to' option, because most people sending a
msg to a list expect the reply to be sent to the list; but I don't
really see it as a big deal either way. 

The only frustrating part is remembering which list is which before
hitting the reply, but with reply to list supported in evo, I guess I
just need to get in the habit of hitting Ctrl-L. :-/
