Nice read. Even KMail is mentioned. ;-)

Reading this brings another reason in favor of the changed behavior of 
Reply to my mind: Accessability. The above mentioned document says: 
"[...] easily allowing one to reply only to the original author. In 
KMail, it is even easier. One merely right-clicks on the hyperlinked 
From address."

"merely right-clicks". That's easy to say for someone who doesn't have 
problems using a mouse. But some people can't use the mouse. They can 
only use the keyboard and therefore it has to be possible to reply only 
to the original author with a keyboard shortcut. That's what the new 
behavior of Reply provides:
  r -> reply to original sender
  l -> reply to mailing-list
  a -> reply to the sender and all (known) recipients
Can it get easier than this?

BTW, I disagree with the opinion which is presented in the above 
mentioned document because many mailing-list managers overwrite the 
Reply-to header which the sender has defined with the mailing-list 
address and thus make it impossible to send the reply to the sender's 
preferred reply-to address.
