It's a list setting. I primarily use a fairly basic* mail program (PINE, 
as it happens), and it always asks me on any list mail which address I 
want to reply to, because that's how I've got my preferences set. Other 
mail apps are probably not so discriminating. Most mailing list 
processors, if not all (I only have experience with a few of them) can be 
set so that the default reply is to the list, to the original poster, or 
to both. Most of the more sophisticated mail apps have a similar setting, 
but I think it only differentiates between a reply to sender and a reply 
to all. I could be wrong, of course, so check your mail app prefs before 
you go believing me whole cloth.

The address nick is also primarily a list setting, that needs to be 
changed by the list admin.

*I suppose technically it's really rather sophisticated, given the 
control you have over what goes on, but the interface is about as basic as 
you can get.
