Nothing evil, it's just a pain in the ass to have to cut and paste to send
a private mail, vs. the significantly lower PITA-level associated with
hitting 'reply-all' to send a public one. For those of use who use nice
context-sensitive mailers like Pine or Mutt, the default reply behavior to
a list is reply-all, anyway.

Also, not munging the reply-to tends to cut down on the "oops, that
scathing flame / innappropriate proposition / disclosure of company
secrets was not meant to go to the list" factor.
