Netiquette, schmetiquette. Though I usually read this list on my work desktop with evolution, this blackberry MUA and others just don't support "reply to list". While I agree with your point, the reality is that you just can't expect that those features are available to people all of the time. IIRC, the iPhone <3.0 also made it difficult to trim posts, and did not support reply to list.

I've seen worse embarrassing miss-posts on mailing lists set with the Reply-To: header of the type you suggest than the mild annoyance that you got when your mail went to an individual rather than the list. If you want the message to go to the mailing list, hit "Reply To List" (Ctrl-L), not "Reply to All", that will make your reply go to the proper place as derived from the mail headers and makes sure the person you are replying to doesn't get two copies. (Another bit of netiquette that seems to be forgotten about.)
