I also would like to second this grumble. One other list I belong to
(Organic Gardening) has its default setting the other way round which is
much more convenient I think. In the much rarer case of a private reply
being approprite one can then make the necessary adjustment. As it is I
have trained myself generally when replying to the Med list to put in
the list address myself each time.
