Right. But undo that problem.
1. Forward your copy from "Sent Items" (if you've got it,) or
2. Send a message to your recipient, "Ooops... can you forward that to the group for me?"
(Either of which will help gradually retrain that motor memory that hits Reply instead of Reply to All... ;-)
On the other hand, undo the message sent abroad that wasn't meant to go there:
1. ???
With huge apologies to Henley,
It matters not how large the group,
How much "convenience" is extolled,
I am the master of my mail:
I'll determine where it'll go.
Just my 0x02 bits ;-)

"User Beware, you who -- juggling a dozen things at once -- mistakenly sends
a reply to the group that was intended for a specific user."
I was having the exact opposite problem - mistakenly sending a reply to the
individual poster when it was intended for the group. Since it is a public
mailing list, I feel that all response should go to the list 90% of the time
and wanting to send to the individual is a rare occurrence.

I've got to agree. Header-Munging is double-plus-ungood.
I don't like the inconsistency. In this list, headers are munged. That one
they're not. Or was it the other way around? User Beware, you who --
juggling a dozen things at once -- mistakenly sends a reply to the group
that was intended for a specific user.
I don't like the absence of any feedback that Reply will be mapped to Reply
to All.
I don't like the machine overriding my intent ;-) I don't need to be
protected from myself:
* If I select Reply, I mean Reply (to sender alone)
* If I select Reply to All/Group/..., I mean Reply to All, and feel the
material being sent is of value to the group as a whole.
;-)
HeaderMunging--;
EverythingElse++;

I still don't think it is a good idea to have a different behaviour this
list from what SAC is proposing for the general lists. I'm -0.
