This is the way things are supposed to work. Most every mail user agent
I have used has two "reply" functions -- one to reply to everyone and
one to reply just to the original sender. Some il-conceived list software
(cough *LISTSERV* cough) configures things such that you are *forced*
to reply back to the list. If people's user agents cannot reply to the
list again without doing some work then it's pretty clear that their
software is broken, not Majordomo.
