Well, if "Reply to List" would be the default "Reply" action, then there
has to be another action for "No, I really want to reply to the Sender
personal"... ;-)

I agree, that this can be discussed and there are a lot of opinions. But
personal replies have to be easy even for mailing lists.

For Evolution *1.4* that is: edit (as root) the file
 /usr/share/evolution/1.4/ui/evolution-mail-message.xml

and set the empty accel value for MessageReplyList:
 <cmd name="MessageReplyList"
  _tip="Compose a reply to the mailing list of the selected message"
  accel="*Control*l"/>


I don't remember the path for your 1.2.x version, but IIRC it is in
/usr/share/gnome/ui and the syntax should be the same. Make sure, there
is no other action bound to Ctrl-L.

As I said, don't forget personal replies...
