Same here. Replying to someone in a discussion should behave identically and
not depend if this is a list or not. 

I've been subscribed to other mailing lists that don't have Reply-To set and
this was a constant annoyance. About half of my replies that should have gone
to the list were sent to just the author of the message. So I had to send a
copy to the list, which means that the author got the same message twice and
was probably wondering.
