Please don't.  This causes a large number of misaddressed messages, and
makes naive users unnecessarily involved in headers, since they can't
reply to the author without replying to the whole list.

This problem is compounded if the messages is crossposted to several
lists.

We should have learned from BITNET listservers by now, although they
seem to be very hard dying.
