Zany! Mail.app also seems to utterly fail at reply-alling if you have  
2 .mac accounts set up. If you receive a message addressed to both  
accounts and reply-all, it will _not_ send the reply to the address of  
the account you aren't replying from. So in addition to accidentally  
replying _from_ the wrong person, we're also often inadvertently not  
including the other person when we're reply-alling.

(I would be unsurprised to find that both of these bugs are related.  
It makes me wonder if there wasn't originally some braindead halfway- 
implemented idea that Mail.app would only keep 1 copy of a message  
addressed to multiple accounts on the same machine, so that the  
combined inbox wouldn't have duplicate messages.)
