And given all mail clients I have seen make it easy to send a mail or reply to any visible header e-mail address (To, CC, From,...), the uncommon case of a private request is still readily available, but it does take explicit action. Making the desired behaviour default is actually good user experience.
For the record these are the mail clients I have looked at: - Kmail: provides direct reply to or new message to any visible address. - Thunderbird: provides new message to any visible address - GMail: provides new message to any visible address, though it does take an extra click - K9-Mail (mobile): provides direct sending new mail to "from" address rather than reply-to address. Other visible addresses can't be targeted directly. I'm extrapolating from this that any decent mail client has effectively a way to directly send a message to the address that appears in the from field instead of using the hidden reply-to. So to me the original argument that it would be much harder to send a private reply doesn't hold. In fact as one on the other side of regularly receiving unwarranted private replies on my list posts, I actually prefer to make that process a bit harder (while still not difficult at all).
