Yes, as Dirk wrote many have _that_ problem. Personally my problem is that the 
shortcut/action behavior has changed. I don't mind having a separate action 
for reply to the sender, as I've suggested in the other mail. I just think 
the "standard" reply should reply to the mailing list if we are in a mailing 
list folder.
