Email should be intitive
(It was for me clear from the context that you meant "intuitive";-)
Yes, email (as any other tool) should be intuitive and as easy to use as a hammer (and even hammers can be misused - it' just that we grow up and learn how to use a hammer). But with increasing complexity of a tool, this is gets harder an harder to achieve. And the main "problem" with user-interfaces as such is that a "good user interface" depends on the user (the users knowledge, etc.) so an intuitive user-interface for one user may be totally non-intuitive/strange/ hard to use/inconvenient/too limiting/.... for another user (and vice versa).
And the solution is actually trivial: a MUA just needs always a "reply to sender" and "reply to all" button and when the MUA detects ML headers, a "reply to list" button. It's than as intuitive as it can get.
But some widely used MUAs don't do this out of the box and next to no one blames the MUAs for this but try to push their user interface problem somewhere else (as in "the ML manager must work around my problem and support exactly my use case - I don't care about all others").
