I agree with you, I only explain ;).

So at least invoking mailing list replies by "All" instead of "Reply"
doesn't offend RFC and could cause a different behaviour.

However, Claws not necessarily keeps Cc headers.

If I reply to a mail

To: arch-general at archlinux.org
Cc: Somebody

or

To: Somebody
Cc: linux-audio-dev at lists.linuxaudio.org

the reply goes only to the list.
