The argument being put forth in opposition to my suggestion is that
this mistake is less harmful than the counter example, where somebody
intends to send a private message but just hits reply (if the reply-to
were "munged" as I suggested) and it gets sent to the whole list. It's
my opinion that this is a rare exception and people who want to send a
private message will be cautious enough to ensure that they do not
accidentally send it to the whole list. Clearly, there has been
significant debate over this.
