<sigh> This has been argued ad naseum. The reason it isn't done like that is
so that one can easily reply privately to the sender by just "replying", but
if you wish to keep the list in on the thread, you "reply-to-all".

The last time we voted on this those of us who preferred it the way that it is
won out (I'm one of them). Unless you're calling for a new vote, I wouldn't
expect it to change. Personally, I reply more off-line than I do on-line, and
having the list config change would make it much more inconvenient for me to
use at all.
