Yes, it does have a "reply to all" ... I took the article to mean 
"reply to all" and "reply to group" were different, that "reply to all" 
is to all the addresses in the "To" and "Cc" headers, and that "reply 
to group" would somehow reply to a list specifically. I have removed 
the "Reply to all" button from the toolbar, and have so rarely used it 
anyway that I don't know the keystroke and would use the menu entry if 
necessary.

As for the other matter, the point here is that the "Reply to" address 
on the Omni lists is the list itself, hence GyazMail does do as it 
should. I think the question is as to whether it is right for the list 
admin to put the Omni-list address in the "Reply to" header. I think I 
am going to re-instate the "Reply to all" button in the toolbar, or at 
least learn the keystroke.

Thanks for clarifying for me that "Reply to all" and "Reply to group" 
are in fact the same thing, or at least come to the same thing.
