I disagree that this is "unusual".  In fact, given the Reply options available in modern e-mail clients (as Don has shown with Thunderbird, for instance), what you call "the normal way" perverts the options the user sees in his/her client.

Basically, the English language should prevail.   "Reply" clearly refers to the sender, not the medium.  "Reply All" means exactly what it says.  I hope the list moderator will keep it just the way it is.  Too many impolitic e-mails intended for a single individual have received bulk distribution via reflectors set up so that "Reply" sends it to the group.
