One way around this would be to have a third state for the preference
called "ask me", and make that the default. So upon clicking Reply to a
mailing list post with the preference in the "ask me" state, you get
this prompt:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Would you like to reply to the sender of the mailing list post
Matthew Barnes <[email protected]>
or to the mailing list itself?
[email protected]
[x] Remember my choice for next time
[ Cancel ] [ Reply to List ] [ Reply to Sender ]
---------------------------------------------------------------
Checkmarking "remember my choice" would move the preference out of the
"ask me" state, unless of course you click Cancel.
