Not necessarily. Take roundcube webmailer. There's a button with two arrows looking like an "reply to all" button. It is however a combined "reply to all" and "reply to list" button with default to "reply to list" so the GUI helps the user doing the right thing for both unexperienced and power users in an easy _and_ standard compliant way. No awkward user experience for normal or power users. Sorry to say that but not all users will become experienced users some day, although we want to believe that on a mailing list of an extremely powerful tool. ;-) Greets Alex -- »With the first link, the chain is forged.
