The opinions on this differ, to say the least:

http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-harmful.html

and

http://woozle.org/~neale/papers/reply-to-still-harmful.html

versus

http://marc.merlins.org/netrants/reply-to-useful.html

I am on lists which use both conventions. Personally I prefer the 
[hpsdr]-way; I'd rather realize that I forgot to CC: the list and 
send an extra copy than find a message that was meant as a personal 
reply ending up on a public list (and in a public archive).
