Apologies if this was explained earlier, I missed the first few posts

I guess it depends on how we use this list. We may want to ping for
somebody to help with a given package, but not want to have a public
record of the discussion of sensitive matter until such time as updates
are prepared. I don't want to see this list become a place for hackers
to listen in on what packages are known to be flawed.

The FC4 Evolution I'm using does kind of support it, but the option is
not very prominently available in the UI. And because very few lists
are configured in a way that I need to take special care to get my
replies to go to the list address, the keyboard shortcut doesn't stick
very easily in muscle memory.
It took me VERY little time to get used to <ctrl>l to reply list. I am
on a LOT of lists and not all are configured the same. Remembering
<ctrl>l for every list will always do the right thing wrt replying to
the list. There are other RFE matters against munging the reply-to
headers, but that's an exercise for the bored. I've voiced my opinion,
others can do the same.
