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.
