nope, a decent email client is supposed to have to following:
1) reply to sender -> reply to from adress (or contents of reply-to header    
                      if present)
2) reply to all -> reply to every adress present
3) reply to list -> reply to value of list-post header

problem with outlook is that it lacks reply-to-list AFAIK (probably because 
the built-in approximation of an email list in exchange groupware is a 
shared folder with 'discussion' items, not an actual list)
