One thing I've noticed, if you do reply to all, then it goes to the whole list as it should. However, if you just hit reply, it does the same thing. So, how about making this simpler. For me on the Mac it's command R to reply and control R for window users. So, reply to all, for me it would be command shift R and for window users control shift R to do the same. So Raul, make it simple, if those of us hit one or the other stroke, we'll get reply to all to go to the list and reply only goes to sender. Will that do?
