I personnally use most of the time gmail, so I don't have access to a Reply-To-List feature (or do I?). I usually do Reply-to-all which I think is as I guess most mailers remove duplicate mails. Am I right?

As message have the same Message-ID the servers have to (or at least should - I'm too lazy right now to check the RFC) considered it 'the same' message (i.e. say - oh. I've already received this message). I tend to use reply-to-all or reply-to-list if the latter is present. Regards PS. Please note that sometimes people do not subscribe to receive messages. For example I asked a few times on various mailing lists for help when I was not interested in general discussion on topic asking to add me to CC. If the mailing list replaced Reply-To header it would required additional effort for responders instead of just pressing reply-to-all.
