If you want the default behavior to be one that encourages the least
likely intended result then you are right. In fact, perhaps the
default should always be to send the email to George Bush, and then
you can just change it to who you really intend!

But seriously, the point is that default behavior matters. It should
default to the most commonly needed situation, not an edge condition.
This is the way *all* my other 14 mailing lists work.

As I said in the other thread, I cant speak to what might go wrong
with some incorrect setting in apple mail combined with gmail.
