Sounds ok, with gentle hints on how to reply to the mailing list only.
In Sylpheed, it's Ctrl-L - or you can add it to your menu bar with:
Configuration >> Other Preferences >> Customize Toolbars >> Main Window and 
add an icon with the 'Event Executed on Click' of: Reply To Mailing List

I'm a tend to reply at the top to make it easier for people to see my post, 
but I'm perfectly willing to post at the bottom (which I'm doing right now, 
since people have mentioned on IRC that they prefer it this way) if that is 
what gets posted on the wiki as the proper ettiquette.
