I'd be curious to hear how other users would like this. I just set
mh-reply-default-reply-to to "all" since that's usually what I want, and
just remove the cc lines on those few occasions when I don't.

Historically, MH-E has done it a bit different from the other mailers,
preferring to be more like MH itself. However, I can see the merit in
having r for reply to and R for reply all.

One implementation would be to leave r as it is, honoring the value of
mh-reply-default-reply-to and maintaining backwards compatibility. Then,
add an R command that sets mh-reply-default-reply-to to "all". You could
then set mh-reply-default-reply-to to "to" and have the behavior you
desire.

Would anybody like this? Does anyone see any problems with this? Can you
think of a better way of doing this?
