This depends on the setting.  Conch-L is set so that replies go to the list
by default, rather than the sender, although some email programs may be
able to override this.

My email program, an ancient version of Eudora, has a "from" line that
contains the return addresss of the actual sender, as opposed to the
Conch-L address.

Another possibility is to encourage everyone to include their email address
in their signature for the benefit of those using programs that make it
hard to find the address.


More shell related than the above:
At the risk of generating replies to the list, anyone who has been waiting
for replies from me will be glad to know that the dissertation is turned
in, so that I can catch up on collecting, organizing, replying, etc.
