Yes.

No problem, that's exactly what we plan to do in implementing
WideChar.

The mailing list is set up so that, by default, there is no reply-to
header, and so a reply would go to just the user.  Personally, for
messages I send to the list, I set the reply-to header to the list in
an effort to keep discussions on the list instead of having stuff sent
only to me.  That seems like a sensible policy for anyone on the list
to follow.  I could set the default for all list messages to do that,
but then people who are not on the list would only get a response when
people remember to reply to all.  It's a tradeoff -- either way, some
people miss messages when people don't reply to all.
