A comment that's especially ironic in light of:

So now sometimes reply-to will send to the list, and sometimes to the 
author. Isn't one of the hallmarks of a good UI consistency within a 
paradigm? (And no, I don't consider "mailing lists" to be a paradigm in 
this case, since there exist others that keep reply-to set to the author.
