I partially agree.

I think we can take a lesson from gmail here:  A simple reply always
replies to the sender. A group reply will include the list of course,
and in that case you are responsible for trimming the recipients.  I've
been caught by surprise when in 'sup a simple reply was sent to the list
*instead* of the sender.  It is hard to predict when it will happen,
because the Reply-To header is not ordinarily visible.
