I use the reply-to-all feature purposely (well, now I didn't :-D)

 * I don't know if the sender is subscribed (with well-known names not
   a problem, but not every sending a mail is necessarily subscribed)
 * I don't know if everybody on the CC line i subscribed (be it an
   individual or another list)
 * As a recipient I have a different attention to a mail in the mailing
   list folder (sorted by list-id headers) and the onein my inbox This
   affects both responses and somebody CC'ing me
