In that case, Reply All does *everything* you need with no need to
harm other people by mangling the Reply-To field.

I see the following buttons:
	Delete,Junk;  Reply,Reply All,Forward;  New Message;  Note,To Do.
There isn't isn't any such animal as default behaviour.
If I want a private reply (which I often do), I click on Reply.
Mangling Reply-to would BREAK that, as well as violating RFC 2822.
If I want a public reply (which I often do), I click on Reply All.
*NEITHER* of these is a default.

Why do you want to take easy choice away from me?
What did I ever do to harm you?
