The main problem is that reducing the recipient list for replies is
incredibly stupid.  You can do that for a private offlist conversion
on something sensitive, but not by default.  If I get a reply, it needs
to go everywhere.  I have to admit I find the sashiko replies a lot
less useful than the web interface, but the important bit is to be
consistent.
