The list handler needs to write a reply-to that only includes the list and rewrite the cc line to remove people on the list (potentially removing the cc line entirely). Most of us are using "elm" and most of us handle list responses, especially to -questions, where the poster is likely to not be a subscriber, with elm's "g" -- "group reply" -- command. Before you suggest that all responses to -questions postings should be to the poster and not the list, I must point out that it is very useful from anarchival and design standapoint to have both the answers and the questions in the list archive, and not just the questions. To a lesser extent, these arguments apply to -hackers and -current as well. Consider it part of the FreeBSD Documentation Project.
