if you use MUTT, reply on-list using 'L' or
off-list (directly to the individual poster) using
'r'...

headers in the message you sent, include
        From: Xucaen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        Subject: how to reply to messages
        To: debian-user@lists.debian.org
        Resent-Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        Resent-From: debian-user@lists.debian.org
        X-Mailing-List: <debian-user@lists.debian.org> archive/latest/124099
        X-Loop: debian-user@lists.debian.org

so mutt's "r" goes to whatever's in the "FROM:" field,
and "L" goes to one of "RESENT-FROM" or "X-MAILING-LIST"
or "X-LOOP". i'm sure the mutt dox tell you which, if
it's important... :)  [i'd guess x-mailing-list]
