Seems fine to me -- except for a slight danger that the user may come to
think of `Reply' as `the usual thing', and `Reply to All' as `the other
thing', which will result in them occasionlly sending e-mail replies to
mailing list messages when they meant to reply to the mailing list as a
whole. But that mistake would be much less embarrassing than doing the opposite.
