Hi again. Just done some some further trialling that suggests it is not an issue with how mailing lists are set up. My wife and I have our own gmail accounts on the same computer, and we just sent each other (no others copied in) a series of emails. She was unable to accidentally send herself an email when she replied to her own email in the thread, while mine continued to exhibit the annoying behaviour that brought us to this thread. The 'reply to all' as a default might solve the problem Marko but I can already imagine it creating new issues. This issue started for me in February this year, and had never been an issue in the many years previous.
