I agree with Alex. It is fine the way it is.
Sometimes you simply want to reply to the author by sending a simple "reply".
Sometimes you want to reply to the complete list by sending a "reply all". This sends the author a separate copy plus the list copy. But since the author might be on the digest version of the list, he or she gets a timely reply directly.
I wish all lists worked this way. Lists that automatically reply to the whole list are always cluttered up with what were intended to be private messages - very annoying.
