What about this:  add another button between Reply and Forward that  
says "Reply To All", then default the Reply to just reply to the user  
(breaking the thread).  That is what Outlook and Thunderbird have, for  
what it's worth, and removes a certain amount of ambiguity on the  
end-users part.  I think the primary reason is that the button says  
"Reply" and in Outlook/Thunderbird, that means "reply to the sender  
only".  I believe this is what is causing the confusion and has caused  
more than one faux paus among the Horde mob.
