When I joined the haskell-cafe mailing list, I was surprised to see the "reply-to" header on each message was set to the sender of a given message to the list, rather than the list itself. That seemed counter to other mailing lists I had been subscribed to, but I didn't think too much about it. Well, the comment below prompted me to ask the question - do people care? Personally, I like to respond to the "list", keeping discussions open by default and reducing (potential) spam on someone's inbox. As impersonal as email can be, it also seems a bit intrusive to write someone directly who I don't have a prior relationship with except for responding to some message they happened to post.
