Just an aside: As you're already using a text based mail program, you
could for example consider using mutt instead of elm. mutt has in fact
three reply commands, giving me a very fine grained control over where
I'm replying to:
r - replies to author (N.B.: This functionality is destroyed by Reply-To
                       list!)
g - replies to group, i.e. all (list + author)
L - replies to list only

I made the transition from elm to mutt myself about three years ago
(albeit for other reasons than the above - that was an added bonus) and
never looked back.

Regards,

Thomas
