There's no way OSM could change that default, it's up to your MUA 
vendor. The buttons you're currently using are "reply" (with an implied 
"to author") and "reply to all", not "reply (default)" and "reply 
(alternative)".
The only thing OSM can do is to trick your MUA into believing the "reply 
to author" function should reply to the list instead. And note the last 
word I used: _instead_. It doesn't work as expected anymore, rendering 
the expected function unavailable.
Please go bothering Microsoft (or Mozilla, or whatever your MUA vendor 
is) about it, not the list admins. They'd get beaten by "the other side" 
as soon as they'd change the behaviour, since this breaks how any sane 
MUA works.
