Now, every older lady down the street can do grocery shopping. Sure it does a little bit less miles to the gallon this way, or you never want to ride automatic gear box in the race. But this is only important for power users. And they always be a minority.

sorry but it is idiotic to take the decision "reply" or "reply all" away from the users
this makes NOTHING easier, it makes it more complex for everybody who knows what he
wants to do and in my opinion everybody who do not realize the difference between both
should not use a computer at all

what with such decisions taking all options away from the users happens is that
you take away the possibilty for new users ever get a power-user because they
never had a chance to learn and understand - if software-development will not
leave this wrong way finally we well have only idiots out there some generations
later
