You will get maybe about 10 extra mails of of daily total of 600?

I suppose lkml is another good example of well-known mailing list.
These are the rules which are in effect there:


http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/31/224
From: Jiri Slaby
And do not remove cc people, please, when replying.


http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/7/9
From: Georgi Georgiev
Please, do not remove me from the CC.

Um, that's exactly why reply-to-all should be used, because not everyone
who posts to LKML subscribes to the list.  Otherwise, you'd either have
to make everyone who posts a question or a bug report subscribe to the
list to see the replies, or place the burden on the responder to keep
track of who wants to be cc'ed and who doesn't.
Beaised, even if you disagree with them, when you post to LKML you abide
by the LKML rules.  It's up to you to know what those are.

Sorry, forgot to reply to all the first time.


lkml FAQ: http://www.tux.org/lkml/
# Can we have a Reply-To: header automatically added to the list traffic?
  * (DW) Some mailing lists automatically add a Reply-To: header
    to the mails which go through them, forcing people to reply
    to the list, rather than replying personally to the original
    poster. This is a bad idea for many reasons which won't be
    listed here. See Chip Rosenthal's excellent summary
    Reply-To: Munging Considered Harmful for more explanation.

Do as you please, but replies to my mails which have my name neither in To:
nor in CC: will most likely not be read most of the time, or read
with a delay of many days.
