Well, it's not. There *may* be reasons replying just to the OP (such as
private statements), as well as there *may* be reasons to reply both, the list
and the OP (what whould be reply-to-all; the poster does not need to read the
list he was posting (as ist is often so in the linux-kernel lists), but the
public might be interested in the answer). Normally you just want reply-to-
list.
That are mail standards since 20+ years, if a MUA doesn't get it right, it's
not the fault of the list. ;)
