I actually find the changed behaviour annoying. I'm quite capable of deciding
who I want to reply to. A "reply all" is the intuitively obvious thing to do
when replying to all members of the mailing list. Currently, there is no
difference between "reply"ing to the author of an e-mail and replying to the list.

Normally, when I hit "reply all", my e-mail client (Thunderbird) will reply to
the author directly and to the list in CC. Mailman handles that just fine, and
it just feels right. When I hit "reply", I find it quite obvious that I want
to reply to the author. So, when I want to take a discussion off-line, I have
to hit "reply" (or "reply-all"), delete the addressee copied from the
"reply-to" header and then copy the e-mail address of the author over to the
e-mail. Now, that's annoying.

It was definitely not the Cython list that was broken here. Any chance we
could change that back?
