I'd like that. I've already once sent a 'group reply' when I intended
to sent to only one.

+1 for changing 'r' reply sender and 'R' reply all in emacs MUA.

Hmm, let's see there was 'Some User(TM)' sending email, and I reply all
to that. If I reply (to sender) to the email I just sent, The recipient
