Yes, that's true.

OK, that's more complex then... because in the general case it's not
really OK to turn *either* of the existing 'Reply' or 'Reply to All'
buttons into a 'Reply to List' button. They're both used.

You could add a third button, I suppose... but then why bother making it
change to 'Reply to All' for non-list messages, when there's an existing
'Reply to All' button right next to it? (As there is in the Message
menu).
