Okay, I get that. What I don't buy is the assertion that "the only
reason people
use Reply-to-All" is that they want replies to go to the list at
least. I find
Reply-to-All useful in a much wider variety of situations than that,
and I also
find that I get a lot of replies-to-all in mail that isn't sent to
any list.
Sure, but I was speaking of the use of Reply-to-All when responding to
mailing lists, not to messages in general.
I suspect that when people hit "reply to all" to a message from a list
they generally want the reply to go to everyone who received the
original message, not "just" to the list. They don't want to worry
about which of those recipients are on the list and which ones are not.
