I have used MH for email since the mid 1980's. I have used EXMH has my mail
client since it was first created. I can telnet/ssh to my mail machine from
anywhere in the world and read my email and have instant access to all of
it... I am completely in tune with typing 'repl -cc all' to the shell when
telnet'd in, and I am completely in tune with typing shift-R when using exmh.
It just happens from habit. I have replied to 'all' more than any other
group. I find that I get a better 'default' to: list by doing that, and then
editing it. It's just habitual...
I am not literally saying "Just deal with in Brill", but am suggesting that
everyone has to shape their world so that they feel comfortable. MH lets me
specify whether the default is '-cc to', '-cc cc', '-cc me' or '-cc all'. I
don't know much about the state of affairs in all these fancy pop-3 clients
(mh lets me do 'inc --host' to do pop access). So, I am not sure what to
suggest to you or others that have problems with reply and reply all. I can
only suggest that this whole issue existed back in the mid 80's and was
addressed, cussed and discussed at length. The current mode of sourceforge is
what was in use then, and has been in use largely everywhere that I've
participated on mailing lists. The exceptions being lists maintained by
people who just appear to deal with mail differently, and who may not choose
to have private conversations about list materials with the senders of
personally interesting or controversial topics...
