ok, can you point a MUA that has such a reply to all?
And even if you find such a MUA, is not realistic to ask everybody to
change his MUA.

No problem. I think that "Copy & paste" works for everybody, isn't it?
I agree that it's annoying. But now, the reply-to works perfectly if
you want to reply only to the author, and it's annoying if you want to
reply only to the list.
What is the feature more used, reply to the list, or reply to the
author?

the "bug" is in all MUA's. And we have to live with it (and decide
what's the configuration of the mailing list that is less annoying for
the majority).
