Yeah, I thought about this a bit more, and if the default reply action would 
be 'reply to list' and the 'reply to sender' option would be added as 
secondary it would probably work more intuitive.

And as an added bonus it improves upon the KDE 3.1 behaviour in that it also 
works for lists that don't set the reply-to header, like many non-kde lists 
still do.

Well, then you should CC kmail@, because I'm not a KMail developer, I'm only 
voicing my own opinion :)
