I don't know of any webmail implementations that provide reply-to-list, so a lot of us end up using reply-to-all.  Cleaning up the headers requires at least deleting the To (which is where the author ends up), and perhaps moving the list from Cc to To (to make it pretty, I don't think a nonempty To is actually required by the RFC). Especially on a mobile device this is a PITA. I go the other way: hit Reply, and then replace the author's address with the list's. I'd much rather have a Reply List though. Unfortunately no decent webmail seems to have it, and I'm still looking for a decent non-web-mail client too.

I used to do that, but switched to using Reply-All instead after sending too many unintentionally off-list replies.

So yeah, the basic problem is mail clients that don't offer a "Reply-List" option, with the Gmail web client being a notable offender.

Cheers, Nick.
