[ODE] reply-to on mailing list

[Ed Jones]

This has been discussed many times before in much the same way as OpenGL 
vs D3D, Linux vs Windows, XML vs Binary and Oranges vs Bananas. There 
are many articles on the web debating the relative merits of 
reply-to-list and reply-to-individual, one of the possible upshots being 
that reply-to individual gives you more choice; click Reply-All to send 
it to the list, click Reply to send it to the individual, if the server 
defaults to reply-to-list then that choice is taken away.

Basically; the list is set up as it is, and has been for years. My mail 
client has a "Reply-All" button and it's not a huge problem for me to 
find it (if I want to) when I'm replying to ODE mails. It's next to the 
"Reply" button.
