With Eudora (Macintosh, at least), there are several options available in
the "Re: Replying" section of the "Settings..." selection of the "Special"
menubar pulldown.

IMHO, "reply to" SHOULD be to the poster and one's mail program should be
set so as to require an extra step to reply to the list, so as to keep
traffic on the list from mushrooming even more.
