Argh, no!  That would cause people's private replies to go to the
whole list much more than the few accidents that happen at present.

It's not likely to happen, as I'm sure Karl and Norm have read

Perhaps the addition of appropriate list-information headers from RFC
2369 would be useful, particularly over the longer term (as MUAs learn
to use the posting address information).
