When you "reply to all," it will do exactly that: address the message
to all the address you are directly replying to and all of the other
original recipients. If that is not what you want to happen, then
don't "reply to all."

Normal "Netscape vs real mail client" flames aside, I've seen that
very behavior in every mail client I`ve used or tried: Eudora,
Pegasus, Forte's Agent, pine, elm, mail, Mail, Netscape 3, Netscape 4,
MS Internet Mail, MS Outlook, Outlook Express, Outlook98, etc, etc,
etc.
In terms of Reply-To: with a Majordomo list, the solution to this is
for the +list+ to be configured with "reply_to = listname" instead of
"reply_to = $SENDER". That second one is apparently the way this list
is configured.
