Yakov,
On my e-mail, the choice is to Reply or ReplyAll. If I want my
reply to go only to the sender, I use Reply. If I want it to
go to the list as well as the sender, I use ReplyAll.
One of the lists that I am on adds a Postscript with information
on unsubscribing, another list has it in the header.
Cheers,
Doug Mitchell
