Ecellent. I'm very glad you propose this, I was thinking the same thing. I'=
ve=20
talked to a couple of people (users) about what they would expect, and what=
=20
you describe is exaclty it. r should apparently reply to the list, if there=
=20
is one (reply-to set or not) and to the author if there is no list.=20
Everything else seems confusing.

That said, I do find the current scheme clearer and was very tempted to opt=
 to=20
keep it, but I've been convinced (in no small part by my wife) that I like =
it=20
because it is cleaner _implementation_ wise, not usage wise.

reply should be r. That removes the problem with upgrading users encounteri=
ng=20
changed behavior, mostly.
