default "reply-to-all" (was Re: FrameMaker 8.0.3 Update Now Available (POSSIBLE WORKAROUND))

[Alan Houser]

Which is worse? --

- You reply to a message on the list. Assuming that you are replying to 
the sender, you include information that is personal, privileged, or 
inappropriate-for-public-consumption. Your reply goes to the entire 
list. The damage is done.

- You reply to a message on the list. It goes to the sender. With two 
mouse clicks, you correct the oversight and direct your reply to the list.

A default "reply-to-all" listserv configuration is evil.
