Hi Jorge, I tried responding to various messages that were addressed to the list, and all of them had the LIST as the recipient, which is the opposite of what you stated. If, on the other hand, you want the recipient added to the message, then you go to the Message option and choose "send to all", just like I am doing with this one.
