I'll add Mail.app on MacOS to the list. The 'From:' header has a down
arrow to the right of the address. (visible on hover) Clicking it brings
up a context menu with 'New Mail' as an option. (There is also a 'Copy
Address' option if one prefers) As well, any address in the body of a
message has the same options.
Not certain about Mail.app on iOS, but I'd suspect there is a similar
feature.

You make a very good point here. I agree the list configuration should reflect
our default
behaviour. And given all mail clients I have seen make it easy to send a mail
or reply to any
visible header e-mail address (To, CC, From,...), the uncommon case of a
private request is still
readily available, but it does take explicit action. Making the desired
behaviour default is
actually good user experience.
For the record these are the mail clients I have looked at:
- Kmail: provides direct reply to or new message to any visible address.
- Thunderbird: provides new message to any visible address
- GMail: provides new message to any visible address, though it does take an
extra click
- K9-Mail (mobile): provides direct sending new mail to "from" address rather
than reply-to
address. Other visible addresses can't be targeted directly.
I'm extrapolating from this that any decent mail client has effectively a way
to directly send a
message to the address that appears in the from field instead of using the
hidden reply-to.
So to me the original argument that it would be much harder to send a private
reply doesn't
hold.
In fact as one on the other side of regularly receiving unwarranted private
replies on my list
posts, I actually prefer to make that process a bit harder (while still not
difficult at all).
