Yes, I realize I have "Reply to All,"  which replies to both the 
group and the last writer, but that should not be necessary. No other 
group I belong to behaves this way.

this is a function of the mailman software used for the list, not the procmail 
list
itself.  it is the assumption of the people who wrote "mailman" that you never 
want
to reply to the list and always want to reply to the individual.  i have never 
seen
a sensible explanation of this assumption.  however, it is possible to turn it 
off, 
and have replies default to the list.  for whatever reason, the procmail 
listowner has 
simply chosen to leave the default setting enabled.
