[Ben Rosenberg]
It's just irritates people like me who get 1000's of emails a day to have to keep track of who hit the reply to all button.
It might irritate us, who also handle a lot of email every day, deciphering headers and pondering if "reply to all" is adequate for each and every of the From: or Cc:ed addresses. Depending on the list, From: address may be a list member or not, not all lists are run the same way, and we do not necessarily remember all details. The simplest is replying to all, when we want to reach all. It often happens that recipients ask everybody else to adapt to their own habits and work methods. You use procmail in some way, while others may do differently, and what becomes an inconvenience through your work methods might not even be noticed by others. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
