The whole copy and paste from the comment part of the from header is something of a "pain in the ass" for many people. It is *far easier* to click the "Reply[ to Sender]" vs. "Reply to All" buttons virtually all E-Mail clients provide. Then the E-Mail client sets up the To: and Cc: headers properly and without error -- the copy and paste is prone to [human] errors. > > So the default behavior would be reply-to-list, and if the *OFF* chance > you *might* want to privately reply, you can still do so.
