Zowie.  The reply button is currently locked.  In your opinion, it is  
locked into the correct behavior, other people feel it is locked into  
the wrong behavior.  So, we are at an impasse.  Because of the belief  
in how the button should behave, it would seem that the button should  
be customizable with the default being "Reply to All".  As the  
developers seem unwilling to change the behaviour of the button,  
perhaps just changing the text to "Reply To ..." would probably work  
for everybody as it would hopefully make people THINK (if even for a  
second) about what the button is about to do?
