Not necessarily - if you use a *decent* mailer (like mutt on Linux) it
finds the
List-Post: <mailto:netfilter@lists.netfilter.org>
header and uses that to send your mail if you type "L" (list reply),
while a "R" (reply) goes to the sender of the mail you are replying to.
"U" unsubscribes me, and other nice features. Sadly only a few mailers
use the List-* headers.
