I know Dan addressed part of this in his reply, but there's one
other reason for 'reply to all' vice sending everything through the
list.  

I rate/categorize most of my mail based on who it was addressed to. 
Mail sent, in reply to a message I sent, which only goes through the
list falls into my "I'll get to it one day" bin.  If I'm directly
addressed, it's flagged and moved to the top of the queue, which these
days also means I'll get to it one day, but it will at least be the
morning of that day, and not late evening.

Of course, 'reply to all' is somewhat of a misnomer, because I almost
always cull the recipients to the list and the person I'm replying to
unless there's a noticeable ongoing conversation between multiple
people.
