I totally agree.  With a good mail program you can hit "List Reply"
(instead of "Reply" or "Reply to all") and send the reply to the list
only.  It is really very convenient.

For users who have a problem with not munging, this sounds even worse.
It would mean that for _some_ messages "reply" is sufficient, but for
others "reply all" is necessary.  Since my mailer has a
"ignore_list_reply_to" option it wouldn't hurt me at all, but I'm not
the one who's mailer lacks good list support :-).

would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the car
windows, shut it off, restart it, and reopen the windows before you
could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
