Sorry Marc, but almost all other mailinglists work this way, and it
is much more convenient. However, if you use Pegasus WinPmail, you
can select any sort of reply. There are more mailers that can do
this.
IMO, you can better have several non-interesting mails send to the 
list, than one interesting mail that goes unseen for the entire 
audience. Mind also: mailinglists, as newsgroups are ment to be 
*discussion* phora....;-))

The only list that stubbornly kept replying to the sender, was the 
Nikon list. But that was merely a matter of load decrease, and now, it is 
even only available as digest....decreasing discussion even more 
IMO....
