Contrary to Eric, I prefer to include the original sender in the list of
recipients. I don't know why, but I get direct emails substantially quicker
than through the mailing list (even though I do not use the digest format).
When I'm stuck and let out a cry for help, the sooner I get the reply the
better!

There's my vote! :)

PS: you'll note in this particular case, in the spirit of the discussion, I
chose to reply to the list only :)
