I vote for the new way as well... it is now trivial for me to respond to either the author of a message or the list itself. Before, I had to do a cut and paste of the author's name in order to send mail to them... Yes, there will be occasions in which people send to an author when they meant the list, but heck, we've already had that in reverse... and for some messages it is most definitely more embarrassing to have them go to the list... So please keep it the new way...
