It does reply to "all".  If you want just the list, you have to take 
the authors return address out, and I often do, and have done so 
now.  Now, there is an option in the properties of a folder, to set 
it as the home of a mailing list, which may possibly change this 
behaviour.  I haven't explored it for effects. Well, maybe, but I 
see I had the posting address slightly wrong, I'd left out the www.
