If you look at the addresses above you will notice that there is a Reply-to:
line and a To: line.  You will also notice that [email protected] is in
both lines.  Now wouldn't you expect the Reply to All function to repy to all
addresses listed.  The address in the Reply To: and the To: lines are both
replied to.  The computer isn't smart enough to figure this out (it just does
what it is programmed to do) but we should be.

Don't use the reply to all function when the address is in both places.
