As a serious response, "reply-all" is NOT the default for common GUI
mail clients (TB, Apple, Gmail, etc.), and I know on TB that it's not
even possible to make it the default (I miss Kmail). So a system which
depends on the user ... including outside bug reporters ... always
hitting "reply all" is going to have some issues.
