No, it shouldn't change.  Sometimes we need to reply personally. 
I don't like to cut-and-paste personal addresses.  As you see in 
the above, the djgpp list address is in mail header. It's enough, 
I think.

My mailer has commands of "reply to sender" and "reply to all" that 
makes me easier to broadcast. (no need to type addresses)  A nick 
name and/or an address book may help your typing effort if your 
mailer supports them.
