I think Aaron can change the default on the list -- not sure.  *However*
it is also a function of your own mail software.  Your software can
override the default -- or supply its own default.
 
For example, using Pegasus, I had to deliberately select BEE-L from a
number of recipients in order to post this reply to the list,  or the
response would have automatically only gone to the author. Moreover, I
regularly get messages in reply to my posts that were meant to go to the
whole list and I have to send a copy back to the writer to post.
 
Unfortunately, there is no simple solution to ensure that an error is not
made in addressing since incoming headers are not totally standard, and it
is simply a fact that these things will happen periodically unless
careful attention is paid to outgoing headers.
 
Thus it is important to *always* check your headers . (I know, I forget
too sometimes).
