Not everyone. :-) When I read my email from work, I do it via Squirrelmail,
a web client. At home is either mutt or Evolution, depending on the machine.

With mutt, "L" (list reply) replies to the list, so you'll only send one
copy (so you should use a "lists" command in your muttrc, with the name of
the mailbox the mailing list gets filtered into). Else "g" (group reply)
with reply to all senders (the list and the original oster), which is a bit
rude and a waste of bandwidth)

Which means that I think reply-to munging by a list is a GODD thing; the
idea of the list is public discourse (as a matter of course), so a private
reply should *not* be the norm, but something you have to go to extra effort
to do.
