Any sane mailer should have a private 'reply' function, and a 'reply to
all' function. If you click the private reply, that's what you get. If
you 'reply to all', that's also what you get.

I know there are some mailing lists which override that *private* reply,
and trick you into sending messages to the list when you intended it to
be private. That's a really stupid idea and we don't do it here.
