a) is probably unusual (but with the rise of webmail, I suspect the
distinction between Reply and Reply-all is being lost to many users now),
but b) is the norm, since usually a person's Sent mail is stored when they
send it anyway.
If my assumption about webmail is correct (for instance, Gmail allows you
to choose Reply or Reply-all when, well, replying, but hides it behind a
tiny dropdown menu), it might be good to have Reply-all as 'default' -
keeps discussion in the community. Although as we see it has unfortunate
side effects.

A. Martinez (Anthony), and A. Kaluta. Sorry, all!
