Reply all is probably the easiest and best way to reply to the list.
How mailing lists should set the Reply-To: header is a topic of much
debate. For two dissenting opinions, see

and

After considering the options, I prefer the current setup. One reason is
that doing a reply to only the individual when one meant to reply to the
list is easily remedied (just reply again) whereas there's no way to
remedy accidentally posting to the list what was meant to be a private
reply.
