I guess it depends on what kind of traffic you want on the list.

If you want questions only, with replies being sent privately to the
poster, then leave it as is.  If you want the answers to go to the list
then maybe that should be the default.

BTW, it's also annoying to get two copies of replies to messages I sent
when someone hits reply-all (like you did, and I did this time).

Also, I don't use mutt, I use evolution.  If anyone know of a way for a
similar feature in evolution to reply-to-list, please let me know.
