No, because it is sent by the sender to me, not to some list.

No, in my private mail I hit 'reply' and I reply. In my mailing lists I hit
'reply' and reply.

Well, what is the 'same way'? When I reply, I reply. When I get something
from a person, and reply it goes to that person. When I read something on a
newsgroup and reply, it goes to that newsgroup. When I read something on a
forum and reply, it goes to that forum.

Change the address by hand. That's hard to do, it's true, but the number of
times I want to reply in person to a message on a list is so low that that's
no problem at all.
