While I don't like the way Tom used to say this I think we all would
have an advantage if everyone would care a little bit for his/her
mail recipients. The default case should be to send a reply only to
the list except when one explicitly says "I'm not on the list".
And btw. I would like to ask again for shortening a reply to it's
relevant parts instead of sending the whole message of the original
sender again and again.
