The reason is that Trojita tries to always offer the most reasonable way of
replying as the first option in the menu (so that if a message arrived via a
ML, the "reply to list" is the default option, otherwise it's the "private
reply" etc). I'm not sure which shortcuts to assign to which action and also
cannot decide whether there shall also be a "generic reply shortcut" which
would just select the default mode of replying. Opinions and suggestions
welcome.
Graphically, I think it makes sense to show the first two most likly replies
(reply to list/all, reply to individual) and have a pull-down that lets you
select any of them.
as for shortcuts, I get nervous about the action of a key doing different
things, but if you had two keystrokes, one of which always is 'private reply to
sender' and the other is 'reply to all/list/etc' I think I could live with that.
One thing that makes me a bit nervous about this are mailing lists like
linux-kernel where there is some list info, but the norm is to reply-to-all
