No.  If you have subscribed to a list you have implicitly indicated  
that you are comfortable with sharing your thoughts with the entire  
list.  As someone sending something to a list, I DO NOT WANT TO  
RECEIVE PERSONAL REPLIES FROM THAT LIST - the conversation needs to  
stay on the list.  So the only sane default action is reply to list.   
This should never be configurable.

If you, as a list reader, want to send a personal message to someone  
on the list - that is your choice.  But you have to explicitly make  
that choice.  That choice should NEVER be the default.  Otherwise,  
what's the point of the mailing list?  Someone sends a message and  
nobody ever sees a reply since everyone just sends personal e-mails.
